Ciclo Andino… A new winery, lodge & bistro in the heart of Perdriel, Mendoza 🍷

Owned by and his two sons Jonas & Jannik, this family business has German roots with an Andean spirit.

The family chose to develop a wine project in Mendoza after finding centenarian Malbec vines with their winemaker and being inspired to start a new family chapter at the feet of the Andes mountains.

After two years of construction, they have refurbished this beautiful 1920-built adobe house and added five luxury lodges. The winery & spa are set to follow next… but already in the bag are some delicious first vintages of Semillon, a white blend, a delicious bubbly (with over 100 months on the lees), and their old vine Malbec.

An exciting new addition to the wine route of Perdriel, where old vines and new dreams collide 🍷

Criolla from East to North…

It’s always fun to compare different wine regions through the lens of one variety, but it is very rare to have the chance to do it with Criolla Chica 😎🍷

On the left, a Criolla Chica (field blend, naturally) from from East Mendoza - juicy, supple soft fruits, and perfumed.

On the right, Criolla Chica from in Jujuy - taut, spiced and grippy.

Two passionate makers, and new generations in the ancient story of Criolla in the Americas.

Can’t wait to publish Criolla.wine - my favourite story of South America, and becoming some of my favourite wines 🙌🍷

There’s one photo I wait for anxiously each year… 🌹

This are the beautiful old vines of Tannat in ‘s family vineyard in Canelones, Uruguay. The vines themselves are rather beautiful, but even more so in this fleeting moment of spring when the most enchanting rose blooms and erupts with its sweet perfume.

Gabriel Pisano has been sharing this photo with me for several years now, and I think this year it is the biggest and peachiest rose we have seen yet - hopefully a good omen for a wonderful 2026 harvest in Uruguay 🇺🇾🙌

One of my favourite Pais wines from Bio Bio 🍷🇨🇱

I love Pais, it’s such an underrated and delicious light red. And this Millapoa from has all the best qualities of the variety - fresh, juicy and with a fine spine of dusty tannin and bright notes of wildflowers, rosemary and bramble fruit.

A brilliant wine to served slightly chilled in a summer’s garden 😋🍷

One grape variety, one region, one producer, three very different wines… 🍷

Malbec is such a versatile grape variety, and winemakers in Argentina are increasingly exploring its many faces. As a brilliant example, makes this brilliant trio from Gualtallary well worth exploring:

Gaia is a juicy, vibrant and pure Malbec - with gorgeous notes of violets, minerals and forest fruit. Fresh and so easy to drink, it’s the perfect summer wine to drink slightly chilled. With both Regenerative and Biodynamic certifications, it’s also a bargain at Waitrose for £18.

Ameri is the top of the line, and more structured and complex. Ripe bramble fruit is framed by oak spice and cedar, definitely making it a wine to enjoy with a juicy steak or lamb asado.

And finally the fortified late harvest Malbec, a Bousquet family tradition and a really nicely balanced dessert wine with sweet dried fruit notes and chocolate. Perfect with cheese or chocolate!

A Malbec for every mood 😉🍷

When the ferment gets a bit over excited… 🍇 💥

Harvest is well underway in Argentina, and the ferments are bubbling away too - sometimes a little too actively 😂

This is a Malbec from Altamira in winery - thank you to winemaker for sharing the fab photo 🙌🍷

Just in case you ever doubted how big the book is… Pierre and his pooch put it into perspective - almost as big as a Christmas Tree 😂 🎄

Thank you for the lovely photo 🙌 Happy holidays, happy wine drinking, and happy holiday planning 😎🍷

Always a goodie… This lovely white blend using mainly Naughty & Nice Tokaj Friuliano from Uco 😋🍷

Nice, because this rendition by is oily, silky and perfumed with white blossom and citrus zest. A touch of Sauvignon Blanc in the blend adds a fresh acid pulse throughout. Richness with lightness.

Naughty because Argentina got told off for using its name ‘Tokaj Friuliano’ by the Hungarians, who say it is too close to the name of their Tokaji wines… now it has to be labelled by a synonym here (Sauvignon Vert, Sauvignonasse, Friulano). Same delicious wine though 🙌

Pais is so versatile… with fine tannins, and subtle forest fruit and wild herb notes, it’s brings out the best in dishes like this cherry & basil burrata and roast asparagus with romesco sauce 😋

This Pais is one of my favourites from Bio Bio, from 150 year old vines and subtle but engaging. A real gem in portfolio by .jordan.52

And perfect served with the delicious bites at my favourite Mendoza restaurant (now sadly in its last month!!!) 🍷
