Brioso, Susana Balbo
£39.95
Susana Balbo’s career in wine began in 1981 when she graduated with a degree in oenology from Don Bosco University, effectively becoming the first female winemaker in Argentina. She made her first wine – a Torrontés from Salta – in 1983 and since then hasn’t stopped! She began work on her own Dominio del Plata winery in Luján de Cuyo in 1999 and released the first vintage in 2002.
Today Susana is renowned throughout the world as an exceptional talent, not only in pure wine-making terms but as a global ambassador for Argentina. In 2014 she was elected to serve a third term as President of Wines of Argentina and in May 2015 she was named Woman of the Year by The Drinks Business
Brioso is a magnificent, muscular, unctuous ‘Bordeaux blend’ comprising Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Capable of long ageing and wonderfully approachable in its youth. 15 months in 100% new French oak barrels, a triumph.
Very impressive. One of Argentina’s very best wines.
Rich and smooth, perfect with a big juicy steak, or any grilled or roast red meat dishes

Touriga Nacional, Syrah, Aragonez plus others.. The Alentejo region of Portugal (North of the Algarve), produces some of the county's best value wines. This is a great example from Alexandre Relvas Jr and his team at Casa Relvas. It is rich and juicy blend with a long smooth finish, that tastes much more expensive than it is. Perfect for BBQ's and a really versatile wine to have on hand, complementing pizza, meaty pasta, pork chops...
