Viña Cobos

Mendoza, Argentina

All visits to Viña Cobos must be booked in advance, not just because this leading light for Argentinian Malbec is so popular, but because each and every experience is carefully tailored to its guests. Co-founded by winemaker and consultant Paul Hobbs in 1999 (a New Yorker who trained in California and has another project there), the Viña Cobos range exhibits the full spectrum of the country’s capabilities, from easy-going Bordeaux blends to single vineyard and even single-plot Malbecs and Chardonnays that continually sweep the boards. The sleek lines of the stone and glass gravity flow winery provide a suitably sophisticated backdrop for wine lovers seeking something special – and utterly personal.
