El Porvenir de los Andes is a remarkable family owned winery situated in the Salta district of North West Argentina at altitude. Due to the unique messoclimate of their vineyards, the region’s 320 days a year of sunshine  and the dedication of  the family to producing only top quality wine, they make some truly stunning wines in limited quantities. Every single one of their wines is excellent, and their Laborum range are simply magnificent.

What’s it like?

Incredible, amazing. One of the best Malbecs I’ll ever have the pleasure of drinking. A typical big, powerful, fruit driven wine, wonderfully smooth and balanced. It’s won more medals than the USA athletics team. Sensational.

How much? Where can I buy it?

You can buy El Porvenir Laborum Malbec 2005 from a few good independents, from the Gaucho Grill with a meal for £65 or from www.goodwineonline.co.uk for £21.49
