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.
