VIÑA COBOS
Mendoza, Argentina
|
<< BACK |
www.vinacobos.com
To say that we were blown away when we tasted the wines of Viña Cobos is somewhat of an understatement. Argentina has always been big on potential and the UK is slowly waking up to just how good Argentina’s wines can be but, with the arrival of Cobos, Argentina’s wines are propelled convincingly into the realms of world class.
The wines of Viña Cobos are the result of a shared dream inspired by the passion of an American winemaker (Paul Hobbs) and two partners (Andrea Marchiori & Luis Barraud) from a wine producing culture deeply rooted in European traditions.
Nestled at the foot of the Andes in the unique microclimate of Perdriel, the Marchiori vineyard provides an outstanding environment for Malbec and other varietals.
|
At 980 metres above sea-level, this is high altitude viticulture which allows for high levels of light penetration during the day and a huge temperature difference between night and day which gives the vines a chance to rest…whilst lengthening the growing season and building complexity.

|
Utilising old vines, careful vineyard selection, low yields and unerring empathy for the raw materials, Cobos craft wines of undoubted concentration and power but with a surprising purity and elegance.
Cobos Malbec Marchiori Vineyard is in a class all of its own and is Viña Cobos’ top wine. Produced only in exceptional vintages from vines of 60-80 years old, it exhibits levels of concentration and power rarely achieved in Argentina, or in other top winegrowing regions of the world for that matter!

The inaugural 1999 vintage received the highest score to date for an Argentine wine upon release with subsequent releases reaching 98pts from Wine Advocate.

Felino Chardonnay
A broad, subtle chardonnay from the finest winemaker in the Americas. Delicious, crisp citrus notes coupled with toasty buttery character. |
|
|
|
Felino Malbec
Paul Hobbs is justifiably famous for producing some of the finest wines in the U.S and South America. His Felino Malbec is youthful, succulent and juicy with savoury, earthy tones and a delicious minerally, fruit packed finish. |
|
|
|
Felino Cabernet
Though Cabernet is in the shadow of Malbec in Argentina, some think it is capable of greater wines. This delicious, youthful example of crammed with succulent cassis, olive and coffee flavours. |
|
|
|
Bramare Chardonnay Marchiori Vineyard
Paul Hobbs work at Catena put Argentinian Chardonnay on the map. Now at his own winery, he has produced a rich, complex, buttery, mineral white with touches of honeysuckle. A great rival for top white burgundy. |

Cobos Malbec
Arguably South America's finest Malbec, this is produced in tiny quantities from grapes grown from 100 year old vines. The result is dense, opaque in colour and brooding. Almost viscous, this coats the palate in ripe, succulent fruit with complex fruit cake, spicy wood and coffee. Structured, demands and deserves great meat. |
|
 |
|
Cobos uNico Cabernet/Malbec
Utilising both Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, this wine is undoubtedly amongst the finest wines in South America, if not the world. Vines of over 100 years old produce immensely concentrated, savoury fruit that unfolds into raptures of luscious blackcurrant, vanilla, coffee and spice over the palate. An iron first in a velvet glove if ever there was one. |
