A high-altitude Malbec blend from Cafayate, Salta

Discover San Pedro de Yacochuya, a characterful Argentine red wine from Cafayate in Salta, north-west Argentina. Made high in the Calchaquí Valleys at an impressive 2,035 metres above sea level, this is an expressive blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon with the freshness and personality that high-altitude vineyards can bring.
The wine is made predominantly from Malbec, with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon for added structure. The grapes are picked and sorted by hand, then fermented in small stainless-steel tanks before ageing for 12 months in French oak barrels. The result is a red wine with fresh red-berry character, silky tannins and a moreish, fresh finish.
This is a brilliant bottle for a relaxed dinner with friends or a proper Argentine-inspired feast. It is especially good with steak, grilled meats, lamb, Argentine asado, empanadas, rich pasta dishes and mature cheeses.
