We love the new wave of beautiful wines coming out of Argentina. The quality have changed tremendously over the last decade, reaching new highs every year. Top end producers like Catena Zapata, Bodega Chacra and Zuccardi are some of the winemakers continuously raising the bar. 
Another stayer on the Argentinean wine scene is Bodega Weinert. Founded in the early 70s, delivering its first harvest in 1977, Bodega Weinert has always strived for quality wines. But where other producers have gotten quite pricy over the last years, Weinert has remained quite decent. They produce a wide variety of bottles, mainly focusing on reds. We’ve selected the “Carrascal” which is a classic Bordeaux blend with 40-40 Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec and 20% Merlot. Grapes are sourced in the Mendoza region and the wine is stored for 24 months on oak. It’s a big and beautiful wine, with both power and elegance. And the price is just ridiculously low.
A pro tip is to have a broader look at the Weinert wines available at Vinmonopolet. You can easily get 10-12 year old Cabernets, Merlots and Malbec’s at 250-300kr. Amazing wines at a fantastic prices.

Tasting notes

Carrascal 2019 - 185kr



Deep red colour.
Complex and intriguing nose with leather, roasted spices, ripe dark berries, coffee and dried fruits.
Soft and very tasty in the mouth. You get yummy notes of dark berries, coffee, dried fruits and liquorice. Soft tannins, good acidity and nice length. Big and soft.
Great value.


With food
This will be excellent with the traditional “Ribbe” (Pork belly) at Christmas.
Also great with barbecued meats, sausages and seasonal lamb dishes.
