Winemaker Notes
From the cool, dry climate of the beautiful Patagonian
landscape comes a wine with deep and intense violet-red
color and a fruity and spicy character. There are notes of
ripe plum, leather and some vanilla. Medium-bodied with
firmed tannins, Restivo Malbec Reserve is an elegant wine
with great structure and persistent finish.
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.
