Ramirez de velazco comes from argentina's famatina valley , a wine region since 1591 when conquistador ramirez de velazco brought vines with him from peru!. To find it we had to trek 7 hours' across desert from mendoza - and climb a whopping 3280 feet above sea level (in a car admittedly). Was it worth the effort? every mile of it because in this secret corner of the wine world quality is better than ever and prices have never been more in your favour. Another textbook vintage - little rain and a long ripening period have made for an exceptionally ripe pinot grigio laden with orchard fruit and melon flavours. Aromatic too - the perfect summer glassful with grilled tiger prawns. Pinot grigio may originally be italian but "transport the grape to argentina and you get a lot more flavour and finesse for the same spend" (the times). Here's delicious proof - stock up today. |
