AltoLandon Mil Historias Organic Malbec 2024
High‑altitude vineyards, extreme diurnal shifts, organic farming and a winemaker determined to push boundaries. This is Mil Historias Malbec , crafted by Rosalia Molina at Bodegas Altolandon in the wild, elevated plains of Manchuela. At 1,100 metres above sea level, the vines grow in conditions that test their limits, producing fruit of remarkable intensity, freshness and purity. The result is a Spanish Malbec with depth, lift and a vivid sense of place, shaped by native yeasts, minimal intervention and ageing split between French oak and clay amphorae. A wine born from altitude, biodiversity and meticulous care. Why You'll Love It This is Malbec with altitude‑driven energy and organic clarity. It delivers powerful dark fruit wrapped in floral lift, spice and natural freshness, offering a style that feels both bold and beautifully refined. The combination of amphora and oak ageing adds texture without heaviness, allowing the fruit to shine. Vegan, organic and full of character, it is a bottle that stands apart from more conventional expressions. Vineyard and Production The grapes come from a 20‑year‑old organic and biodynamic vineyard set on a flat plain surrounded by mountains, where cool nights and long sunny days create perfect balance. Hand‑harvested after mid‑October, the fruit undergoes spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, gentle extraction and extended skin contact. Ageing takes place in third‑use French oak and clay amphorae, giving complexity, structure and a subtle earthiness while preserving purity. Natura l stabilisation during the region’s freezing winter completes the process. Tasting Notes Expect concentrated flavours of blackberry, blueberry and plum layered with violet, rose and rosemary. Notes of cocoa, mint, earth, espresso, tobacco, dark chocolate and black pepper add depth and intrigue. Fine tannins and lively acidity give structure and lift, creating a finish that is long, complex and expressive. Perfect Pairings A superb match for lamb
Larry Cherubino Pedestal Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
Larry Cherubino Pedestal Cabernet Sauvignon is a benchmark expression of Margaret River Cabernet, one of Australia's most celebrated wine regions and arguably the country's finest source for the variety. Crafted by Larry Cherubino, widely regarded as one of Western Australia's most talented and meticulous winemakers, Pedestal is the entry point into the Cherubino range and consistently over-delivers on quality, structure, and elegance for its price. Why You'll Love It Larry Cherubino has built his reputation on a singular commitment to terroir-driven winemaking across Western Australia's finest sub-regions. Margaret River's unique maritime climate, moderated by the Indian Ocean to the west and the Southern Ocean to the south, produces Cabernet Sauvignon of remarkable natural balance: ripe, structured, and fragrant, with the kind of cassis-driven fruit and fine-grained tannins that make it one of the world's great Cabernet regions. Pedestal captures all of that at an accessible price point. Vineyard & Production Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in Margaret River, Western Australia. Crafted with the precision and attention to detail that defines everything Larry Cherubino produces. Tasting Notes Classic Margaret River Cabernet, fragrant blackcurrant and cassis on the nose, with cedar, bay leaf, and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, elegant finish. Structured for the medium term but very approachable now. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, and aged hard cheeses. Also excellent with slow-braised red meats and hearty pasta dishes.
