La PorteƱa, 'the girl from Buenos Aires', was Argentina's first steam locomotive, built in Leeds in the 1850s. Among its duties was the transport of wine from Mendoza to the capital. The old girl, long since retired, lives on in spirit in this easy drinking red. It's the craftsmanship of one of Argentina's finest family wineries, Zuccardi. The company was founded by entrepreneur Alberto Zuccardi, who planted his first vineyard in 1963 to show off his irrigation system. Today it's run by three generations and leads the field in innovation and quality. Enjoy Malbec's seductive dark fruit with the brambly complexity of Shiraz in this silky red. Tasty solo and versatile with food - from vegetarian bakes to sausages - and great at a barbecue.
