Wine laws are often a headache for producersbut theyre a gift to you. The majority of grapes for this Malbec come from the Uco Valley. Its an enclave of quality in Malbec-hotspot Mendoza, with wines commanding high prices. But because of convoluted wine shipping laws we can only label it as genericMendozaMalbecso you get it for an absolute steal. Because this is a really fantastic quality wine. Its made with grapes from vineyards at seriously high altitudeover 3500 feet above sea level. It means the flavours become concentrated in the intense sun, but the nightly temperature drop keeps it fresh and silky. Its packed with red berry fruity flavoursstrawberries and cherrieswith a pretty, violet-like aroma. Soft and approachable, its perfect with chargrilled vegetables.
