A great couple of hours at the wine tasting. The wine was from an Argentinian vineyard called " Altos de Hormiga" (roughly translated as "Ant Heights")
The first offering was a white wine prepared with semillon, chenin, and pedro jimenez grapes. Very nice indeed - and I'm not a white wine person.
Then we tried 3 different Malbec wines. The bog standard (9 months), the reserve (15 months) and the special reserve (3 years). Really good, really great, and outstanding - in that order.
A really enjoyable evening!

New heard of it
Should be easily available in Australia as lots of vineyards there grow that grape. The Australian ones are easily available here too:
