Ehrmanns Update

This appointment is a significant achievement for Ehrmanns as we believe there’s a major opportunity in the UK for a branded wine from Argentina, especially one with such excellent brand credentials. 

Argentina is the fifth biggest wine producing country in the world, and has long been referred to as the “sleeping giant”. The current climate is perfect for its awakening, and with this appointment Ehrmanns is in the perfect position to take full advantage.

Of special note in the Andean Vineyrads range is the Premium Range Andean Vineyards 2007 Malbec, winner of the prestigious Gold Malbec Trophy in the Argentine Wine Awards that took place in Mendoza in February 2008.

Commenting on the new range of wines Stephen Damien McEwen Winemaker from Andean Vineyards said

"Andean Vineyard wines are specially selected from premier grape growing regions located at the foot of the Andes in the province of Mendoza and San Juan where the altitude ranges between 990 and 5.500 feet Unique viticulture conditions such as arid soils, hot days and cold nights, fresh water from the Andes Mountains, and years of winemaking tradition in these regions the Cuyo region (Mendoza and San Juan Provinces) make for wines of very interesting character".

Of special note in the new range is the Premium Range Andean Vineyards 2007 Malbec, winner of the prestigious Gold Malbec Trophy in the Argentine Wine Awards which took place in Mendoza in February 2008. This competition was judged by an internationally renowned panel of top wine experts from the USA

Buying Manager Joy Edmondson: “We feel the appointment by Andean Vineyards is a huge achievement for Ehrmanns and that there’s a major opportunity in the UK for a branded wine from Argentina, especially one with such excellent brand credentials. 

Argentina is the fifth biggest wine producing country in the world, and has long been referred to as the “sleeping giant”.  We believe the time is now ripe for its awakening and that we are now in the perfect position to take full advantage”.
