Bodega Teho, Tomal Malbec, Uco Valley, La Consulta, 2014

Led by Alejandro Sejanovich, one of the most respected winemakers and viticulturists in Argentina, Teho is a small bodega producing about 30,000 bottles a year, all elegant, refreshing wines. Its portfolio is mainly based on two vineyards – Zaha in Altamira and Tomal in La Consulta. From the latter, planted about 75 years ago, comes this 2014 Malbec, an excellent example of Sejanovich’s restrained style, with La Consulta showing all its purity and ripeness. Phil Crozier: Packed full of dark fruits, succulent blueberries and delicate violet notes. This is wonderfully ripe with an opulent juiciness on the finish. Simply lovely! Patricio Tapia: Some intense blueberry aromas here, with a soft, round palate that is friendly in texture and long in flavour. Full of such alluring perfume, this is a grand example of how elegant La Consulta can be. Dirceu Vianna Jr: Pure, well-defined and inviting aromas of blueberries, dark cherries and floral overtones. Juicy and harmonious palate with a refined, smooth finish.
