wine and spirits logo 250

 "Walter Bressia founded his family winery in 2003, having been working in the industry in Mendoza since the 1980s. His Monteagrelo is rich, Andean and rustic, like blackberry jam with all the pips; this wine has a direct, open sunniness that seems to convey the thin mountain atmosphere. Some lilac complexity and fresh fruit power it through the coffee-bean finish, which takes front-and-center stage a day after opening."

2018 Bressia Monteagrelo Malbec - 91 PTS - Descorchados

descorchados 2020"Although this wine was originally 100% from Agrelo, today it also includes grapes from cooler zones in the Uco Valley. This malbec has black fruits and floral touches in a red that’s medium bodied but that also has very potent tannins that prickle on the tongue. An ideal wine for lamb"

2019 Bressia Monteagrelo Malbec - 91 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"The 2019 Malbec Monteagrelo is a blend of grapes from the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza and was aged for 10 months in French vats. Garnet red in the glass, the nose offers notes of ripe plum and oak with hints of biscuit and pepper. Slick and broad, the voluminous flow brings gentle tannins and freshness. It’s creamy at the back of the mouth with hints of fruit. - Joaquín Hidalgo"

tim atkin logo 250"The Bressias use a 50/50 blend of Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley Malbecs to make this smooth, supple, perfumed red, ageing the result in French and American oak. Sweet blueberry and raspberry fruit flavours are embellished by a twist of vanilla spice. 2023-28"

james suckling hq logo plain"A juicy and expressive malbec with some dark earth and black peppercorn spices on top of the blackberries and fresh herbs. Generous and velvety with some black tea and ripe black fruit to the mid-palate. Tannins are silky and melted. Drink now."
