Winemaker Notes
Diseno is the quintessential Malbec from Mendoza. This unique, old vine style delivers complex aromas of sweet, ripe blackberries, violets, and red cherries with notes of toasty vanilla oak for balance. Subtle tannins reminiscent of dark chocolate complete the finish.
Pair with hard cheeses—like Manchego or Parmesan—paella or seafood risotto, spicy red sauces, or beef.
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.
