He is both a Mendoza winemaker and Australia's foremost supplier of South American wines to the restaurant industry. The wines will include some stunning Argentinian Malbecs such as the extraordinary 2014 Achaval-Ferrer Mirador from Mendoza and the Bodega Noemia “J Alberto” from Patagonia. You will also taste some less familiar, yet exciting varietals such as Torrontes, Pias and Bonarda before finishing with a truly great 2015 Pulenta Estate Gran Cabernet-Franc, grown and made Agrelo Argentina.
