Up in the sun-baked Cuyo region of Mendoza, where the Andes loom and the land is scorched, sparse and stunning, Argentina’s finest vineyards thrive. Here, snowmelt from the highest peaks funnels through ancient irrigation systems to bring life to desert soils. Cuyo may mean “desert country” in the language of the native Huarpe peoples, but don’t be fooled — this place is the powerhouse of Argentine wine, home to 95% of the country’s vines and a long, storied winemaking tradition.

Pulenta Estate — now into its fourth generation — is at the heart of it. The family (originally Polenta, Italian immigrants from Ancona) arrived in 1902 and have been shaping Argentine wine ever since. Their approach is as grounded as it is ambitious: no flashy certifications, just sustainable, organic principles rooted in soil health, environmental care, and clarity of expression. The wines are honest, vivid, and unmistakably Mendoza.

Gran Corte VII is their flagship blend — a limited-release symphony of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Tannat. Each variety is fermented separately in stainless steel before the blend is aged for 12 months in French oak. The result? A brooding, perfumed red packed with bramble, wild cherry and raspberry. It’s velvet-textured and full-bodied, with flickers of smoke, spice, fresh herbs and bitter chocolate in the wings. The altitude — these vines sit at 3215 feet, higher than almost any vineyard in Europe — lends freshness and tension to all that depth and power.

Crack this open with BBQ’d meats, rich sauces, smoky marinades — or just because it’s been that kind of week. But don’t hang about. This one vanishes fast.

Some information about your order

Please let us know if you would like a specific note included with your order. We tend to wrap all bottles in paper and reuse wine cases for shipping to keep our carbon footprint low.
Shipping should be automatically adjusted depending on your postcode. Free delivery covers all Liverpool postcodes, and the following Cheshire postcodes: CH41-49, CH60-63. Find out more on our Deliveries page.
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
If something is wrong with your order or it's not what you expected, please get in touch and we'll sort it out. We'll look to rectify any mistakes where possible.
