Luján de Cuyo

Medium

Screwcap/Stelvin

Nowadays, everyone’s buzzing about the quality and refinement of wines from Gualtallary – but Sophenia was one of the original pioneers, established back in 1997. This is a cooler, higher-altitude region in western Mendoza, part of the famous Uco Valley, and the wines tend to have a freshness and lift to them, along with intensity and complexity. E’s Vino is a lightly oaked Malbec in pursuit of vibrancy and drinkability. Peter Richards MW: Serious, peppery and meaty, ripe dark fruit – a brooding style, in a good way. The fine-boned tannin is quite assertive, but with peppery, savoury complexity. Grown-up and food-friendly. Ben Gubbins: Ripe, almost stewed black fruit, integrated oak spice notes, leather and meaty touches. Good fruit presence with a silky quality, along with the firm tannins. Andrew Johnson: Rich and intense nose of damson, dark cherry and black fruit. Big, bold mouthfeel, with some rich pastille fruit on the finish.
