Bodega Sottano has become one of the leading producers of Malbec in Argentina, with a knack of combining power with elegance. That’s certainly the case with the top-of-the-range wine, Judas. This wine, intended as an exclusive family reserve, has been made available by one of the Sottano brothers who chose to secretly release a limited quantity, without telling the rest of the family!

It is an intense wine, but with lots of elegance and class. Bold in flavour with dark fruit, spice, liquorice and pepper. Superbly structured. I really like it. It is a high-day-holiday wine but well worth every penny! Built to age, until at least 2025.
