About This Wine


Old Quarter

Malbec

Our Old Quarter Malbec represents the diverse beauty of Argentinian culture and terroir. This wine is a timeless expression of Malbec’s beloved style, where each sip is round and welcoming, featuring dark fruit flavors accompanied by dynamic spice. Our local winemaking partners in Mendoza are third-generation descendants of Italian immigrants who established their first winery in Argentina in 1915. Today, while maintaining their viticultural tradition, our winemaking partners also employ modern-day technology to craft wines that express the uniqueness of this land. The mission of three-time Gold Medal-winning Old Quarter is to highlight this rich Argentinean culture and diverse heritage through its wines. Great wine has a way of bringing people together, and we hope our Malbec inspires you to reach out and connect with those around you. Serve each glass at room temperature with friends old and new.

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.
