Reserva

Mendoza Malbec

The Fabre Montmayou Reserva Malbec is a splendid example of Mendoza's prowess in winemaking. This red wine offers a robust full-bodied experience, embodying the quintessential qualities of the Malbec varietal. With its striking dark violet color, it draws you in even before the first sip. On the nose, it teases with powerful aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and hints of violets, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and tobacco from oak aging. The palate is met with a lively acidity that balances the intense fruit-forward character, making each sip rich and satisfying. The tannins are well-structured, providing a firm backbone that carries through to a long, elegant finish. Enjoying a glass of Fabre Montmayou Reserva is a celebration of Mendoza’s ideal winegrowing conditions, where the high altitude and abundant sunshine produce Malbecs of exceptional depth and complexity. This wine has garnered multiple Gold Medals, affirming its status as a must-try for any Malbec enthusiast.

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.
