Having spent 10 years in Argentina and working in the Wine industry I find these choices of wines bizarre and making comparisons of 10 to 60 GBP wines a useless exercise. The stand out wine here would be Trapiches Single Vineyard from La Consulta.
Is there a market for a 60 GBP Malbec from a boutique winery like Tempus Alba? I doubt it,
