Winemaker Notes
Many times MAAL has heard that it is Impossible to produce great wines without using traditional oak barrels, and that led them to investigate other ways of incorporating the virtues of oak in the wine. This is how the winery started experimenting with French oak staves inside the cement vats, instead of using traditional barrels. The cube in the label symbolizes how the impossible is just an illusion, and how using only these oak staves the winery seeks to produce a great wine.

Rich and well-crafted, with concentrated crushed red fruit flavors that features notes of sandalwood. Spiced chocolate accents on the finish. Malbec.

Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
