Winemaker Notes
Intense red color, with subtles blue and deep black tones. Fruity, standing mature and dry plums, spicy notes, nutmeg and clove. Tertiary fragrances are also very present, standing out its elegance. Unctuous, dense, with complex body. Revealing, in half mouth, spices like nutmeg, clove and mild cinnamon notes. It presents strong and mature tannins, and a complex, sweet end.
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.
