South America Own Label Case

This is the ideal introduction to Argentine malbec.It has tempting floral aromas with notes of spicy black fruits, and a fresh, round and balanced palate. It's mainly from the Valle de Uco for aroma and intensity of flavour with some Agrelo fruit for richness. It is produced exclusively for us by Dominio del Plata, a winery owned by one of Argentina`s most celebrated winemakers, Susana Balbo. The label shows a traditional sheepskin-covered saddle as used by Argentinean gauchos.

Soft and generously fruity carmenère from the Rapel Valley. Lush, succulent and enveloping. Made for us by Concha y Toro's superb winemakers Ignacio Recabarren and Lorena Mora.

‘For an under-£10 pinot noir, what else are you looking for?’ Our Wine Champions tasters voted it a winner, singling out the ‘juiciness’ and ‘honesty’ of this ocean-cooled Chilean charmer, which is now being made in a fresher, earlier-picked style, emphasising its bright, pure red fruit. Undurraga’s work in making themselves as sustainable as possible has made it easy for us to name them one of our Wine Society Pioneers. They are Wines of Chile Sustainability certified and an International Wineries for Clime Change Gold member – one of only 9 wineries in the world with that status. Their facilities use solar energy, the measure their carbon footprint with the aim of reducing emissions wherever possible, use lightweight bottles use only drip irrigation for efficient and targeted water use that goes hand in hand with reusing water in the winery too. They preserve biological corridors and native vegetation, protect local wildlife, have deployed an integrated pest management system and promote a balanced eco system. Ineed, it would be quicker to tell you about what they don’t do!

Made for us by Viña Tabalí from a very cool vineyard planted on limestone soils just 7.5 miles from the chilly Pacific Ocean, this is a more mineral than fruity, European, less is more style. Limarí's cool and dry climate suits sauvignon blanc and cacti, hence the illustration on the new label. This crystalline, cool-climate Chilean is a great choice for fish and chips: it has an intense nose to rise above the fried-fish aromas and bright acidity to cut through the richness of the dish. 

If you only try one chardonnay from 2026’s abundant crop of Wine Champs winners, this bowled us over for its quality-price ratio. Its ‘limey nose’, ‘lovely herby style’ and ‘round, creamy’ palate were even better on retasting, so don’t be afraid to decant it.

From a high-quality, coolish vintage, this is impressive cedary, fine-flavoured, partially oak-matured cabernet offering excellent value for money. Concha y Toro are a leader in more sustainable working practices in Chile, with strategies to reduce energy and water use, environmental projects including increasing biodiversity, and many local community initiatives.
