Altos Las Hormigas, Malbec Appellation Gualtallary,
Mendoza, Argentina 2018 ($44.99)

"The site-specific 2018 Malbec Appellation Gualtallary comes from specific soils, two plots that they believe transmit the maximum expression of limestone to Malbec, giving a structured wine with fine-grained tannins but a little wild. The vines are on stony and gravelly soils with a high percentage of limestone and sand with around 3% clay at 1,300 meters in altitude. The grapes fermented in small concrete vats with indigenous yeasts at some 25 degrees Celsius for 15 days. It matured in untoasted 3,500-liter French oak foudres for 18 months and no less than 12 months in bottle. This comes from sandy soils and very low yields that give it chalkier tannins and a savage way. This has a slightly rustic touch, vertical and with some lightness. There's always a fresh touch of aromatic herbs (thyme and rockrose), with a textured palate and very tasty and clean flavors in the finish." -Luis Gutiérrez

CLIO
Jumilla, Spain 2021
$49.99

Clio is made from 70-80 year old vines, very low-yield Monastrell and Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards approximately 2,300 feet in elevation. Planted in rocky limestone and sand soils in a hot, dry climate that encourages ripening of concentrated and complex berries. Fermented in stainless steel and, aged in French and American Oak for 23 months.
Clio is a plush and velvety wine with serious concentration and a long finish.

"The 2021 Clio is ripe and heady with 16% alcohol and generous oak. It's faithful to the house style, but like many other wines from the 2021 vintage from the Gil family, this also came through as fresher and more balanced than the 2020 counterpart. It has a full-bodied palate with abundant but finer tannins. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023." - Luis Gutiérrez

"Husband and wife team Sara Pérez and René Barbier are the children of two of the great pioneers of the Priorat D.O., Josep Lluís Pérez of Mas Martinet and René Barbier of Clos Mogador. René and Sara have taken the goddess as their inspiration for this project. One of their stated goals is “to interpret femininity through a bottle of wine”. These are incredibly elegant, refined, sensual expressions of Montsant, with restrained alcohol levels and tremendous texture."

Serving Houston for 35 Years

In 1987, owner Scott Spencer opened Wines of America on Houston’s South Shepherd. More than 35 years later, our name and the scope of our inventory has changed to include regions worldwide, but the goal of independently-owned-and-operated Houston Wine Merchant stays the same; to educate and make wine more approachable to Houston through our knowledgeable team, complimentary tastings and customer service that goes above and beyond the call.

Each member of our team specializes in different regions when it comes to wine and spirits. We’ve spent years learning, exploring and polishing our knowledge of these areas and their offerings; it’s one of the things that makes our selection so unique and enables our team to better offer assistance and expertise. Ask us a question, start a conversation or request a recommendation. We love to talk about our greatest passion, and we’ll never stop learning and sharing about the wonderful world of wine.
