Our main man Ben (Head of Buying) says “There’s so much to discover in Mendoza, and this is another gem we’ve uncovered. Bianchi makes some of the best Malbec in the region, with IV Generación being their headliner. I’ve got a few bottles at home, ready to be cracked on a cold night.”

So, dust off the steak knives and fire up your grill. We have a Malbec that demands the full experience. Bodegas Bianchi is a multi-generational family run producer from the heart of Mendoza. It’s a ‘must’ for anyone looking to dive into what the wonderful variety of malbec has to offer. With a swathe of points, reviews and accolades, including a thumbs up from Mr. Suckling, you can look forward to deep, dark, bold and boisterous notes of blood plum, ripe cherry, violets, tobacco leaf and cigar box. Firm tannins and a dark chocolate finish leave you wanting more. And if it’s more you want, more you can have as this wine has a cellaring potential of well over a decade.

Of course we recommend pairing with a juicy steak but if you’re not mad about meat, char grill a portobello mushroom with a balsamic glaze and you’ll feel like royalty. Enjoy!
