Santa Rosa Adds Up

        Made from grapes grown in the bright sunshine and semi-dessert conditions of Mendoza in central Argentina, irrigated by meltwater from the Andes mountains, Santa Rosa offers an extensive, stylish and excellent value range of wines. Two brilliant new additions have arrived over the summer adding further interest and depth.
First is the Gold Medal Winning Reserva Malbec, the grape that Argentina is making its own. Packing an extra punch of fruit and structure over the regular Malbec and with a little more oak this has loads of damson and bramble flavours.   

Second is Torrontes Tardio. Late picked Torrontes grapes are vinified to make a sweet wine with a lovely touch of the spice, freshness and vibrancy characteristic of the Torrontes grape. In 50cl bottles it is a great alternative to the usual sweet wine suspects. Great value, great flavours, great presentation and plenty of choice all adds up to make Santa Rosa a winning range of wines.
