Liberty Wines has ended its commercial relationship with Tittarelli, the Argentinian producer of Finca El Retiro. Liberty Wines started importing Finca El Retiro wines in 1998, the first year they were produced, and enjoyed considerable success with them. Unfortunately, two of the key ingredients in the initial success of the wines - Luis Tittarelli's vineyards and consultant winemaker Alberto Antonini - are no longer involved with Finca El Retiro,' said David Gleave MW, managing director of Liberty Wines. In our view this has resulted in a drop in quality. The 2001 wines were very disappointing, and we felt they no longer had a place on the UK market.' Liberty Wines continues to represent Anubis and Viniterra from Mendoza in Argentina.
