A dip into South America this week following tastings with two producers. Garzon is a fairly new project (2008) on the east coast of Uraguay with flying winemaker Alberto Antonini in charge of winemaking while La Celia in the Uco Valley in Mendoza was founded 125 years ago.

La Celia has been imported by Spar and Londis for 17 years now and it is one of its best performers. The Uco Valley is 100km from Mendoza and La Celia has 400 hectares so it will have lots of scope to blend from different microclimates to balance its wines and ensure consistency in vintages.
