A classic Bordeaux-style blend here of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Malbec and 10% Cabernet Franc. This is sensational; with outstanding integration between each of the grape varieties, and the oak - par for the course with Estela's wines. Soft, silky and pillowy in the mouth, purple florals and dense dark fruits scream across the nose and palate.

If you haven't heard of Estela Perinetti, then keep an ear to the ground. This is one of the best winemakers in Argentina that you haven't heard of who has finally released her own range of wines under the 'Las Estelas' banner. Perinetti's CV is impressive, to say the least; she was the head winemaker at Bodegas Caro - a joint venture between the infamous Bodega Catena Zapata and Bordeaux's Château Lafite Rothschild. Estela is one of the original female winemakers in Argentina, a country that now has much better representation in the winemaking scene across genders. In the 1940s Estela Perinetti’s grandfather purchased Mangato vineyard, 64 acres of land which was renamed to Finca Mangato, and now forms the basket of fruit that Estela draws from to craft her exceptional range of wines. Perhaps it is her experience working with the Bordelais, but Estela's portfolio is a masterstroke in blending and it is actually quite difficult to pick out each individual grape variety, instead, these are '1+1=3' wines, and the sum is always greater than the parts. Estela's wines are new to us here at GPD and in the UK, we are very excited and delighted to welcome them into the fold!
