Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The real beauty is inside and needs no makeup. That is "Biutiful"... an essential and pure Malbec with no makeup to distract. It sees no oak at all, and is fermented in old cement vessels without either adding yeast or correcting acidity. Its essence is represented by the butterfly inside the cocoon, and only one who looks inside can appreciate its beauty.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    Ripe berry aromas fill out a convincing nose, while this unoaked Malbec shows intensity and bold acidity on the palate. Fresh berry and black plum flavors are clean and easy to enjoy. Overall, this delivers purity, verve and quality fruit.

MAAL Winemaker Alfredo Merlo Winery Image

MAAL Wines was born from a friendship nourished by a common passion for winemaking, viticulture, and Malbec. In 2010, a microvinification of six barrels from grapes sourced at an abandoned vineyard in Vistaflores gave rise to this project. In 2013, Alfredo Merlo and Matias Fraga's passion for making Malbec became more serious and MAAL Wines was officially born. MAAL Wines’ mission is to produce only Malbec wines that are expressive and that reflect a balance between the soul of a vineyard and the personality of the winemakers.

Celebrated for its bold flavors and supple texture, Malbec has enjoyed runaway success in Argentina since the late 20th century. The grape originated in Bordeaux, France, where it historically contributed color and tannin to blends. A French agronomist, who saw great potential for the variety in Mendoza’s hot, high-altitude landscape, brought Malbec to Argentina in 1868. Somm Secret—If you’re trying to please a crowd, Malbec is generally a safe bet with its combination of dense fruit and soft tannins.

Mendoza Wine

Argentina

View all products

By far the largest and best-known winemaking province in Argentina, Mendoza is responsible for over 70% of the country’s enological output. Set in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, the climate is dry and continental, presenting relatively few challenges for viticulturists during the growing season. Mendoza, divided into several distinctive sub-regions, including Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, is the source of some of the country’s finest wines.

For many wine lovers, Mendoza is practically synonymous with Malbec. Originally a Bordelaise variety brought to Argentina by the French in the mid-1800s, here it found success and renown that it never knew in its homeland where a finicky climate gives mixed results. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Pinot Noir are all widely planted here as well (and sometimes even blended with each other or Malbec). Mendoza's main white varieties include Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
