Winemaker Notes
This is without question one of a favorite Malbec bottlings in terms of authenticity, character, and depth. If you ever wanted to know what "Agrelo" Malbec tastes like at its best, let this be your lesson. Rarely do we come across a wine that communicates "place" as this does. Brilliant color, wild aromatics, rich mid-palate, incredible texture, this has it all.

Marked by notes of cinnamon, this slowly reveals fresher hints of violets and cherries that lend it a seductive complexity. It's not a grand wine, but it's balanced with lively acidity and vibrant tannins. An excellent companion for oxtails.
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.
