Don Nicanor

2009 Mendoza Malbec

Nieto Senetiner Don Nicanor is a captivating Malbec from the renowned Mendoza region, crafted in the celebrated 2009 vintage. This red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile with a delightful balance of acidity that refreshes the palate. Its fruit intensity is prominent, offering rich flavors of dark fruits such as plum and blackberry, complemented by subtle hints of spice and mocha that add depth to the experience. The tannins are notably firm yet approachable, providing structure without overpowering the wine's fruit-forward character. This expression of Malbec is distinctly dry, making it an excellent companion for a range of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty pasta. Indulging in this exceptional wine allows one to savor the true essence of Mendoza’s terroir.

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
