Malbec
The 2021 vintage for Mendoza was slow and steady. The growing season was cooler than usual, meaning grapes stayed on the vine well into autumn to take advantage of warm, sunny days...This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection. Explore its full journey from vineyard to bottle here.

WINE REGION:

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.

Baking Spice
Our Malbec radiates with power and presence. Toasted almond, walnut and clove aromas delight the nose, leading to a full-bodied palate with rich flavors and balanced acidity. Ripe blackberry, balsamic, and spice notes blend seamlessly before lingering tannins leave a pleasant grip after each sip.
