Winemaker Notes
A deep red and ruby colour with traces of violet.
Very aromatic – typical plum aromas combined with smoke and chocolate notes, due to oak and bottle ageing.
The mouth feel is sensual and lively with a good structure and a perfect balance. Long and rounded aftertaste.
Pairs well with lamb, roast beef, pasta with meat sauces, poultry or wild birds.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep purple color; black cherry, Asian spices, lavender aromas; concentrated, spicy, lengthy.
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.
