Gran Malbec

2007 Salta Malbec

Azacanes Gran Malbec from the esteemed region of Salta is a striking example of this iconic varietal. This full-bodied red wine captivates with its deep purple hue and expressive aromatics. The nose reveals enticing notes of dark fruits such as blackberries and plums, interwoven with hints of cocoa and a subtle earthiness that speaks to its origins. On the palate, it showcases a remarkable balance, with high acidity that lifts the flavors and a firm yet rounded tannin structure, contributing to a robust mouthfeel. This generous wine is also notably dry, making it a great companion for rich meats and hearty dishes. The 2007 vintage exemplifies the depth and complexity that can be achieved in the unique terroir of Salta, offering a delightful tasting experience that lingers long after the last sip.

Argentina

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.
