Gran Reserva

2007 Mendoza Malbec

Familia Cassone Gran Reserva is a captivating Malbec from the renowned Mendoza region, celebrated for its rich, red color and alluring depth. This vintage exudes a full-bodied character, offering lush layers of dark fruit flavors, such as ripe blackberry and plum, intertwined with hints of vanilla and chocolate from careful oak aging. The wine showcases a pronounced acidity that brings vibrancy to the palate, beautifully balancing its luxurious fruit intensity. Tannins are notably structured yet velvety, lending an elegant mouthfeel that enhances the overall experience. This Gran Reserva is predominantly dry, making it an exceptional companion to hearty dishes, grilled meats, or even rich, savory cheeses. Enjoying this wine feels like a journey through the picturesque landscapes of Mendoza, where the sun-drenched vineyards yield grapes of remarkable quality.

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.
