Winemaker Notes
Rio De Plata Malbec is a fine medium-bodied, balanced red wine made from one of Argentina's signature grapes. This young and dynamic wine exhibits slight traces of violet, an intense aroma, soft ripe tannins and rich fruit flavor. It is suggested to either drink now or to cellar it for a couple of years. Rio De Plata Malbec is delicious with a steak, fish and chicken (grilled or served with soft sauces) and cheese.
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.
