Santiago Gougenheim Malbec Mendoza 2013
About the wine
Smooth and rich Mendoza Malbec
- Argentina put Malbec on the map (Sorry, France!) – Santiago's doing it right with a ripe, chunky Malbec with a good bit of oak.
- And Angels have been funding Santiago's dad for years, so when Junior wanted to strike out on his own he came straight to the source.
- If you plan on sticking a bit of beef anywhere near an open flame I'd suggest you get some of this ASAP.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Santiago Gouguenheim
Years Angel-funded: 2013-15
- Santiago grew up making award-winning wine with his dad on the family's Argentinian estate – in fact, that's where he is now – Gouguenheim Winery.
- In fact, his dad introduced him to nakedwines.com Angels. And when Santiago wanted to make a passion project of his own, you're the first people he asked for start-up capital!
- This young winemaker has all the technical know-how of an Agricultural Engineer and he's got his wise dad looking over his shoulder too.
