Dear Argentinean wine freaks, (Argentinsk vin freak)
(sounds much better than saying ´members', doesn't it?)


I mean, think again: You could become a member of a wide range of associations especially if you have an affinity for the many different wines found on this planet, but when we speak Argentiean wines, and further more, our own wine club import varieties, there amigo, you speak a whole new language from the renamed zones of Valle de Uco, Lujan de Cuyo, Maipu, Cruz de Piedra. Yeah, this may not say anything to you, so let me try and explain it differently. Grab the first scent of the morning dew across the Andes at a height of over 1500 mtrs, look over your shoulder to your right and a Condor may be showing off its wingspan 4 meters above you! Look up, and the exuberant beauty of the mountains will take your breath away, and you will start to wonder what you are doing sitting in an office. Breathe deeply again and the same scented dew spills out its deep, bitter sweet perfume from the stocks. Look to the left and suddenly there they are, at the end of January, blooming with this incredible violet colour, the yeast stuck to the skin promising a natural fermentation. Touch them and softly they will reveal to your eyes slowly but surely, why and how mother nature has chosen this magnificent spot of the planet to bring to you the finest, most refined, brutal, complex, soft, tender, spicy, scented and incredibly overlooked and underestimated grape:Malbec.

My friends: (and i mean this!) Get a grip and face it. We are about to make history, and you are going to be a part of it. The beauty of this blooming friend of mine (and yours:)) with her violet dress and very healthy but delicate skin, needs special care and attention. Let’s call it the love factor. Protection not only from the very demanding weather conditions, but constant monitoring against all sort of threats.This grape, which has played until now in endless second position through time, is finally making a triumphant return from the hands of daring winemakers from the home territory, Mendoza.

In her "teenage" years her appeal is straight and simple. You will glimpse her approaching your glass with her violet, almost black color. She is dressed up for success. Pour a little of her and she will stick to your glass, her lithe legs long and everlasting, their curvaceous artistic forms undulating like the hills of the Andes. Her body is consistent, you just can't avoid giving her that look of: 'Hei, babe', I'm getting closer because you just look so different. Like the landscaped territory of Argentina

You get curious, you need to get closer to this pretty girl who just arrived at the party. Think again, we are on the right track, she is young, dressed up to kill and you are possessed with an inner desire to get to know her. She passes by you, and her scent is strongly peculiar, and strangely mysterious. What is that intoxicating perfume she is wearing. You move in closer and yet closer again. Her scent is spicy , black pepper, berries, cherries, and hints of the purest dark chocolate flood your nostrils. This is wonderful and she is captivating you. You are now doubly curious. She looks good, and her unique perfume is something to talk about. Now you just want to taste her. What will your taste buds dicover about her. You long for a kiss from the prettiest girl at the party. She is looking at you, talking to you and she has planted in you the seed of curoisity ..'Houston, we have a problem'. Thats why EU wine producers are running to purchase land in my country. If you cant win, buy them.

The first kiss is intense, it invades your mouth with a slightly brutal yet harmonic strength. Remember your first kiss? You didn't quite know how to handle it? The alcohol is present, and the tannins bite you, a little bitter and pleasantly acidic. The kiss forcefully consumes your thirsty mouth at high speed (no foreplay here) and leaves you slightly parched, the aftermath heavy and rounded. And you just bloody know it. If this girl already kisses like this then the future looks good.

The malbec grape has the ability to evolve beautifully. Throughout the aging process this wine gradually develops into something precious and I will keep you fully informed about this.

Since this is the first release I have made about my beloved wine, describing it from my soul, I feel I need to express a comment about the sex of my malbecquita. I hope that nobody gets offended here, because of course my malbequita for me in my soul is a woman, but I do understand that the malbeck attraction for others might easier be translated into a male character. So I hope no offence will be taken for my presentation of the form of my attraction to this wine.
Are we cool?

Any feedback is highly appreciated.. Let me see your faces around here and I will share with you all my secrets about this lovely girl...after all she's in my blood.

Argentinsk vin import. We love what we do. And we do it because we love it. That's the difference

Kære Argentinsk vin-entusiater,

Valle de Uco, Lujan de Cuyo, Maipu, Cruz de Pedra – måske ikke lokaliteter, der får klokkerne til at ringe i første omgang. Så lad mig prøve på en anden måde: Morgendug i Andesbjergene – alt er tyst her 1.500 meter over havoverfladen. Over dit hoved flyver en kondor lydløst på trods af sit gigantiske vingefang. Himlen er blå, luften kold og januars solstråler kærtegner de tunge violette vindruer på grønne stokke i horisonten. Pludselig er det klart, hvorfor naturen har valgt dette sted på planeten som hjemsted for den fine, komplekse, blide, krydrede, voldsomt oversete og heftigt undervurderede drue – Malbec.

Malbec har i mange år været anden prioritet blandt feinschmeckere verden over – men nu er hun helt i front! Driftige og dristige vinbønder i min hjemegn Mendoza, Argentina har taget udfordringen op og dyrker den krævende drue til absolut perfektion.

En smuk kvinde kræver kærlighed og opmærksomhed. Hendes kjole er violet, huden tynd – men lad dig ikke narre af hendes sarte ydre. Hun vokser op under barske vejrforhold, men kræver naturligvis afskærmning og beskyttelse.

Hun er mørk – næsten sort – og smyger sig på indersiden af glasset med kurver der efterligner bjerglandskabet, hvor hun voksede op. Duften af druen er berusende – ukendt – ændrer sig hele tiden. Krydret, sort peber, røde bær, chokolade af den rige slags … Hun kysser intenst. Alkoholen bider dig blidt. Du drikker grådigt og efterlades med antydningen af tørhed i munden – men på samme tid en afrundet smag af tyngde. Det første kys lover godt for fremtiden!

Som I forstår, vil Malbec altid for mig være en smuk kvinde – men jeg hører hellere end gerne din mening – og lytter til dine tanker – om vindruens væsen.

Kig ned på baren for yderligere lidenskabelig vinformidling – jeg glæder mig til at se dig.

Vi har Malbeck i blodet
