Stathas Family

2008 Mendoza Malbec

The Algodon Stathas Family Malbec from the esteemed Mendoza region radiates bold flavors and a deep, rich ruby red color that entices the senses. This wine presents an opulent full-bodied experience, with a tantalizingly high acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is remarkably pronounced, showcasing luscious notes of dark fruit, particularly blackberry and plum, intertwined with hints of blackcurrant and subtle spice. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing a structured backbone that supports the wine's lush profile. This 2008 vintage is crafted with care, making it a delightful option for both special occasions and everyday indulgence, and its dryness adds a refined finish that lingers, leaving a memorable impression.

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.
