Description:
Acclaimed winemaker Paul Hobbs is a wine legend. Forbes magazine called him "the Steve Jobs of wine". Founded in 1999 by Paul Hobbs and his Argentine partners, Viña Cobos has become one of Mendoza's most respected wineries. Hobbs recognised Argentina's extraordinary potential during his first visits in the late 1980s, pioneering a style that combines ripe fruit with elegance, precision and a strong sense of place.

The Felino range offers an approachable introduction to Viña Cobos, showcasing the character of carefully selected vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. Approximately 65% of the fruit comes from Luján de Cuyo, with the remainder sourced from the cooler Uco Valley.

Fermented in stainless steel tanks, only 9% aged in new French oak for 12 months. Unfined. Rich Blueberry and blackcurrant flavours complemented by mature oak and great weight.

Felino, an emblematic figure used to characterize the lively qualities of the purest varietal expressions of the Argentine terroir.

Deep red colour with ruby highlights. Aromas of spice, cherries, red fruits, roasted bell pepper, black pepper, and menthol. On the palate, it is pure, round, balanced, juicy, and has a long finish.
