The Story
A critically acclaimed and monumental Malbec, the 2020 Malbec Argentino pays tribute to the grape’s journey from France to Argentina. Sourced from the historic Nicasia and Adrianna vineyards at elevations exceeding 3,000 feet, this vintage displays an opaque violet-black colour. The nose is extraordinarily complex, offering a dense bouquet of cassis, ripe blueberries, and black cherries, seamlessly woven with sophisticated notes of violets, graphite, and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and opulent yet remarkably balanced, showcasing a vertical structure with ultra-fine, chalky tannins and a vibrant high-altitude acidity. Persistent flavors of dark chocolate, licorice, and mineral earth lead to an exceptionally long, soaring finish.
