Description

This is the flag-bearing Malbec from Bodega Atamisque, a winery that has come from nowhere in recent years to gain real respect and admiration from its peers, and no wonder with wines like this on show. Winemaker Philippe Caraguel has triumphed with this wine, which is so good and consistently good from vintage to vintage, perhaps due in part to the vines being 100% owned and managed by Atamisque. We sell much more of this, not inexpensive Malbec, to the UK trade than we do many others at significantly lower prices. Excellent is the word.

Atamisque

Nestled in the heart of Tupungato, Mendoza, Atamisque is a boutique winery renowned for its elegant, terroir-driven wines. Founded in 2007, the estate spans 70 hectares at an altitude of 1,300 metres, where cool mountain breezes and intense sunlight create optimal conditions for viticulture. Atamisque focuses on traditional winemaking techniques combined with modern precision, showcasing Argentina’s signature varietals—Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay—alongside Syrah and Pinot Noir. Their low-yield vines produce concentrated, expressive fruit, which is carefully vinified and aged in high-quality French oak barrels. Sustainability is central to Atamisque’s ethos, with minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar. The result is a portfolio of wines that balance power and finesse, reflecting the purity of the Uco Valley’s unique landscape.

Mendoza

Mendoza, Argentina's most renowned wine region, is synonymous with exceptional winemaking and world-class wines. Nestled at the foothills of the Andes, Mendoza's high-altitude vineyards benefit from abundant sunshine, cool nights, and minimal rainfall, creating perfect conditions for grape cultivation. The area is particularly famous for its Malbec, offering rich, full-bodied wines with dark fruit flavours and a velvety texture. It also excels in producing excellent Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Torrontés. The diverse terroir, with its variety of soils and microclimates, imparts a unique character to its wines. Mendoza remains a must-visit destination for wine lovers seeking outstanding and memorable wines.
