Together, the vintage, varietal and place gave us our Argentine Wine of the Year: the Susana Balbo Wines Malbec Paraje Altamira Nosotros Single Vineyard Nómade 2019.

At the end of February, I began to travel to catch up for lost time in Hong Kong after almost two years of what was essentially being locked down because of the pandemic. I landed in San Francisco, and my wine odyssey began with tasting hundreds of 2019 cabernet sauvignons and many other wines up and down the coast of California as well as Oregon and Washington. And then it was four months in Europe, mostly Italy and France, and finally back to the West Coast, Australia, and New Zealand. Some of the JamesSuckling.com tasters accompanied me along the way, while Senior Editor Stuart Pigott tasted on his own in Europe and others kept the tastings going in our office in Hong Kong.

As the days get shorter and darker and the temperatures begin to drop, you may find yourself looking longingly toward the Southern Hemisphere. South America’s climate mirrors that of North America, making October to April an ideal time to catch the sun’s rays. Argentina in particular earns the award for most hospitable climate, with an average temperature of 70.5 degrees Fahrenheit during these months and less than eight inches of rainfall per year. But while the weather, picturesque landscapes, stunning vistas, rich culture, luxury accommodations, and regional cuisine may draw tourists — superior wines will keep them coming back.

In 1995 two young Italians, Antonio Morescalchi and Alberto Antonini, decided to take a chance on a little-known grape at the time… Malbec. They founded Altos Las Hormigas winery and exported some of the first premium Malbec wines to the USA, championing this rare variety as something new and exciting from Argentina. Since then, the variety has gone on to boom in Mendoza and become the flagship grape variety of the country. In this interview with Antonio Morescalchi, we get the story behind their faith in the ‘cepa francesa‘ and how he sees the evolution of Malbec over the past thirty years and what he anticipates in the years to come.

Now it’s time to turn the spotlight back onto Argentina’s emblematic grape variety…

Producers have struggled to make wine in Brazil since the first Portuguese settlers 500 years ago, with the only viable region seen as the very far south of the country — Rio Grande do Sul. However, in recent years, an innovative new technique has enabled producers to make wines across new, and often unexpected, regions.
