Leslie Williams: Wines from a valley you've never encountered before
Ireland’s wine drinkers have fully embraced the big bold Malbec wines from Argentina but this week I’m recommending a couple of Pyros Wines from a valley you have probably never encountered before.
The Pedernal Valley is an isolated self-contained region about 100km north of Mendoza in the foothills of the Andes. The valley is a sub-region of San Juan and the grapes grown here were often blended into other wines from the region but, given the unique combination of soils and altitude here, it was only a matter of time before they got their own appellation.
