"Plush, smooth, concentrated and intense, this is a Malbec lover’s Malbec with stylish oak integration, bags of perfume and masses of fruit." - 94 points - Tim Atkin

92 points - Wine Spectator

Vina Cobos are at the very top of the pile when it comes to quality wine production in Argentina. World renowned winemaker, Paul Hobbs has been at the forefront of winemaking in Mendoza for over 20 years - winning loyal fans and consistently gaining the highest scores from the critics. Not only did he release the first ever single varietal Argentinian Malbec to the market, but he was also the first winemaker to score 100 points for a South American wine from James Suckling.

The Bramare designate wines are intended to show the incredible fruit you can find in Mendoza nowadays. Sourced from two regions (Valle de Uco and the Lujan de Cuyo) the grapes are from high-level vineyards all over 1000 metres from alluvial soils composed predominately of sand rock, with some limestone.

Red fruit, cassis and smoke on the nose. Luscious plum, blackberry and mocha on the palate with hints of oak and leather. The high altitude of the vineyard site ensures fresh and ample acidity to make this a great partner for food, especially meat. It is smooth and complex with elegant tannins. A must-try wine!
