Gran Reserva

2011 Mendoza Malbec

The Global Wine Co Gran Reserva is a stunning expression of Malbec from the renowned Mendoza region, celebrated for its exceptional winegrowing climate. This 2011 vintage showcases a deep red color that entices the eye. On the palate, it is full-bodied, enveloping the senses with rich flavors of dark fruit, including blackcurrants and plums, complemented by subtle notes of spice and vanilla from oak aging. The wine is beautifully balanced with high acidity, providing a lively freshness that enhances its complexity. Tannins are structured yet velvety, adding depth to the wine without overwhelming its fruit-forward character. This Gran Reserva is wonderfully dry, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or a delightful option to enjoy on its own. With its well-integrated components, it stands as a testament to the exceptional quality of Mendoza's viticulture.

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.
