Susana Balbo Brioso

2023

Susana Balbo Brioso

Brioso means “a fervent love of challenge” and expresses a passionate spirit to create a wine that reaches the most sublime quality. Refined and elegant, this blend is the result of the combination of my oenological skills and knowledge and the uniqueness of Agrelo, one of the best terroirs in Argentina.

Susana Balbo is regarded as Argentina’s finest female winemaker, and this Brioso is a great wine which showcase her talents. It’s consistently good quality year on year with recent vintages aiming to be more European in style, less fruit driven and more traditional Bordeaux.

Susana Balbo Nosotros Library Edition Cabernet Sauvignon

2012

Susana Balbo Nosotros Library Edition Cabernet Sauvignon

Nosotros line celebrates the efforts of all the people who work day by day to make this wine and it is considered the winery’s “selection of selections”.

This wine celebrates our story of courage, which began 25 years ago with the dream of the founder, Susana Balbo, the first female winemaker in Argentina. A second dream came true in 2012 when her two children, José and Ana, joined the family business.

The Nosotros Library Edition Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 from Valle de Uco is a wine that stood out in that vintage and was stored in the family cellar. Today, we celebrate the 25 years with this grape variety, which we see as one of Argentina’s hidden gems, as well as Susana’s favorite variety.

Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri DOC

2020

Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri DOC

Tenuta San Guido is the result of a very long tradition and of an ethical message handed down from generation to generation. Over the years, the dedication and commitment to the company’s activities have led to many successes: Sassicaia, in the wine sector, the Razza Dormello Olgiata, in the breeding of thoroughbred horses and the Rifugio Faunistico Padule di Bolgheri, for the protection of nature and wildlife.

Originally reserved for family and friends until 1967, Sassicaia was released on the market for the first time in 1971 with the 1968 vintage. To this day, the winemaking team remains committed to preserving the stylistic imprint that inspired the creation of this wine.

“We believe that Sassicaia is one of the greatest wine creations of the century. It also happens to be simply wonderful to drink. May it thrive through the new millennium.” – Serena Sutcliffe MW & David Peppercorn MW

The Hedonist Cabernet Sauvignon

2022

The Hedonist Cabernet Sauvignon

The fruit for the Hedonist Cabernet Sauvignon is grown biodynamically on the estate vineyard situated in the Willunga foothills, McLaren Vale. Warm Summer days are cooled by evening sea breezes from St Vincentís Gulf, which lies a close proximity to the West. The soil is rich loam over clay with patches of underlying limestone, giving the wine a rich and fullness of pallet.

A civilised vintage created a relaxed picking environment and enabled an ideal balance of sugar ripeness, natural acidity and texture in the resulting wines.

Biodynamic – Organic – Vegan friendly
