Description

The 'La Posta' series of wines is Laura Catena's passion project to celebrate the small artisan growers of Mendoza - each wine is named after the grower, such as this perfect everyday Malbec that was grown by Angel Paulucci.

‘La Posta’ is a the name of the local taverns where growers and farmers gather to share a glass of wine and stories and exchange ideas, and indulge their passion for great regional produce.

This one of favourite Argentinian Malbecs - full bodied, plummy and opulent, and with plenty of toasty oak, but it's delivered with elegance and restraint.

A delicious wine and great value glass of stout, pleasing red!

Angel Paulucci invites you to climb into his 1933 Model A and weave through the Vineyards of Ugarteche.

You'll hear of his childhood in Italy and his passion for Malbec grapes. Later, over dinner, he will fill your glass. And the air, cooled by The Andes, will melt away your worries and inspire you to find your passion.

Angel Paulucci's family has produced wine in Italy since the early 1800s, and Angel arrived in Mendoza with his parents in 1953 at the age of 21. In 1960, he planted his first Malbec vineyard.

If you get Angel talking, plan to stay while he regales you with childhood stories of enemy soldiers firing bullets into his families red wine barrels so that they could quench their thirst. And of course, he will tell you about his vineyard: very tight spacing, superficial irrigation, lime-laden soils, and Malbec grapes that make an old-timer smile.

    Great value Malbec!

    Amazing value red. Has flavours of dark berry, vanilla, and spice. Pairs nicely with a variety of foods including steak, blue cheese, and mushroom risotto. One of our favourite purchases from Different Drop.

    Nice one

    Laura s reputation precedes her and this find is no exception. The Paulucci vineyards are well known for they well rounded wines. This one would age very well over 2 ys I think. It has berrys tones and medium body. Not as earthy as other Malbecs, and feels refined for its price.

    Great Malbec

    I'm originally from the states where Argentinian Malbec's are flowing at every bar and restaurant. In Australia they are hard to find. This one is an absolute gem. Don't let the price make you think otherwise. A good malbec need not be expensive and this is AMAZING! Dont' delay, buy it today!

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
