Familia Isasmendi Malbec

Salta Malbec

I am thrilled to introduce you to the exquisite Familia Isasmendi Malbec, hailing from the picturesque Salta region of Argentina. This Malbec boasts a full body, exuding robust flavors that are nothing short of captivating. You will immediately notice its deep, inky red color that hints at the intensity of the wine within. Expect vibrant, mouthwatering acidity that balances its fruit-forward profile beautifully. On the palate, this wine delivers pronounced dark fruit notes, such as blackcurrant and plum, interwoven with subtle hints of tobacco and spice. The tannins are notably firm, giving the wine a structured and powerful finish that lingers delightfully. Familia Isasmendi Malbec is a testament to the high-altitude vineyards of Salta, a region renowned for producing some of the most distinctive and award-winning Malbecs in Argentina. Whether paired with a hearty BBQ or enjoyed on its own, this wine promises a memorable and enchanting experience for any wine enthusiast.

Winemaking in Argentina is all about altitude. Many of its most prominent vineyards are situated at elevations exceeding 2,000 feet, where the cool nights help grapes retain zingy acidity while reaching full juicy ripeness. Probably best known for its flagship red grape Malbec, Argentina has become a South American enological powerhouse. The rich dark fruit flavor and smooth chocolate finish have made Malbec a global favorite. Along with its bold reds, Argentina is also known for aromatic white wines such as the peachy, floral Torrontés. International favorites like Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon also grow well in Argentina's high, dry soil.
