Santa Julia Organica Malbec 2015
Mendoza, ArgentinaThe Zuccardi family has taken a leading role in New Argentina and this simple but sophisticated little malbec made with organic fruit is the perfect example. This was named in honour of the only daughter of José Zuccardi. At 13.5 alcohol it remains within itself, yet offers up fresh, ripe almost sweet plum fruit and with a wisp of smoke and savoury herbs. A lovely, almost creamy texture lots on the palate. Tannins are just gritty enough to hold all in place. A fantastic midweek red that over delivers for the price.Tasted: 11 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:BC | $19.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
