TASTING NOTE FROM IRELAND

Ronan Farell, one of the great biodynamic wine experts in Ireland published his tasting notes on both Alpamanta Estate wines on the Web.

Here is what he had to say for the Malbec Estate 2007

“…soft and luscious mouthfeel; deep plummy flavours are balanced by a refreshing natural acidity, and ripe fruit tannins are supported with judicious oaking which weighs in on a long finish that’s packed full of ripe blackberry and mulberry flavours. Excellent balance throughout, and very enjoyable.”

ALPAMANTA IN BUENOS AIRES

Our wines are now available in Astrid y Gaston, one of the best new restaurants in Buenos Aires, specialised in Peruvian haute cuisine.

WINE TASTING IN GERMANY

On the first may weekend our wines were presented in the annual Winetasting event "Wein im Schloss" in Koblenz. Alpamanta was invited together with 7 other wineries of Argentina to represent the "guest country Argentina". Many local politicians and key opinion leaders of the German wine industry took part in this important event. We also had a chance to visit and taste some extraordinary Riesling wine producers in Ahr, Mittelrhein and Mosel, such as Weingart and Lehner

FIRST SALE AUSTRALIA

On may 15th our first sold wines were shipped to Australia- 180 bottles of Malbec Estate 2007. This wine got very good market response from our local distributor's clients. One wine sommelier described this wine as "an iron fist in a velvet glove". Let´s hope that we will get a similar good feedback from all Australian wine lovers and a good start in Down Under.
