Crios Malbec, Susanna Balbo
£15.95
Susana Balbo is a truly exceptional talent – a global ambassador for Argentine wine, a woman whose expertise is the very embodiment of art and science seamlessly combined. Founded in 1999, the winery is located on the famous Cochabamba road in Agrelo, with neighbours whose names read like a roll call of the true greats of Mendoza.
This mid-price Malbec really delivers and has received great reviews from James Suckling, Tim Atkin and Decanter over the last few years; one of standard bearers for the market.
With only a suggestion of oak ageing, this is rich and supple but not heavy or clunky; beautifully balanced and impressive.
Obviously, this is a good ‘Steak Wine’! Also good for ‘Just Drinking’.

Perfect for BBQ's and a really versatile wine to have on hand, complementing pizza, meaty pasta, pork chops...
