Wines from Susana Balbo Winery

• 2006 Merlot, Gouguenheim, Mendoza ,Argentina

  Rich and powerful; packed with gamey blackcurrant fruit. Just the sort of calibre you'd expect from high priestess of Mendozan winemaking, Susana Balbo. It was her influence (and that of top agricultural engineer Professor Pedro Marchevsky) that led Cognac magnate Patricio Gouguenheim to the immaculate heights of the Valle Escondido in Tupungato, 70km from Mendoza.

• 2007 Chardonnay, Gouguenheim

  This oak-aged Chardonnay is one of the finest we've tasted from Argentina, with buttery aromas, a touch of citrus, and elegant oak. We also think it's great with sesame chicken. Mendoza leading light Susana Balbo crafted it from the impeccable fruit of Patricio Gouguenheim's 'Valle Escondido' ('Hidden Valley') vineyards in high, cool Tupungato, where grape-growing conditions are just about perfect. Doubly-rewarding for her; she'd urged him to invest his inheritance there in the first

• 2006 Syrah, Bodegas Gouguenheim, Mendoza

  An expensive-tasting Syrah that owes its chocolate-rich, plummy fruit to an impeccable upbringing in optimally-sited Argentinian vineyards. Funded by his Cognac-selling father, and steered by leading South American wine consultants Susana Balbo and Pedro Marchevsky, Patricio Gouguenhem put down roots in Tupungato's 'Valle Escondido' ('Hidden Valley'), an hour's drive from Mendoza. Susana revels in the fruit quality, making strapping reds like this. Wine for gaucho grills.

• 2007 Crios de Susana Balbo, Rose of Malbec, Mendoza

  Delicious rose from Argentina made from the Malbec grape variety.

• 2007 Malbec, Bodegas Gouguenheim, Mendoza

  Reach for this full-bodied, forthright, fruity red if you're cooking up something grilled and spicy. Malbec is an Argentinian success story, a snub to lightweight styles produced in southwest France. The grape somehow made its way to South America in the mid-19th century, and thrived in high, dry vineyards where cool nights prolong the growing season. Gougenheim winemaker Susana Balbo brings out the lush, damsony, fragrant characteristics of classic Malbec. "THis vibrant new vintage Argentian malbec from Patricio Gouguenheim's Tupungato estate in Argentina's Uco Valley displays vivid black cherry and plum fruitiness, easy, gluggy tannins and juicy fresh acidity, making it a perfect winter's day red for anything from parties to hearty meals."

• 2006 Malbec, Ben Marco

  An inky-dark, roast beef-friendly blend of colorific southern French grape Malbec and Italy's Bonarda, with enticing aromas of plums, spicy oak and vanilla. Another milestone for Mendoza's power couple: Susana Balbo and Professor Pedro Marchevsky. He's managed Andean vineyards for 30 years, focusing on their ultimate expression: vivid wines with ripe tannins. 'Ben Marco' ('son of Marcos' in Hebrew) pays tribute to Pedro's father, who happily shared his grape wisdom.
