Belhara Estate Amayan Malbec 2018
Tupungato, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThe Belhara estate is comprised of 3 vineyards with altitudes between 1100 and 1400 meters. Their 180 hectares of planted vineyards include vines up to 80 years old. It opens with ample dusky blueberries, violets lifting a ripe swell of perfumed purple and black fruits. Tannins are sticky, reflecting the unripened warmth of Tupungato, while the acidity is vibrant, thanks to the altitude. Ready for drinking now, preferably alongside grilled beef.Tasted: 20 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $13.95 | 750ml | consignment - Le Sommelier |
