Belhara Estate Single Vineyard Malbec 2017

Gualtallary, 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. This Single Vineyard bottling comes from some of their best plots in Gualtallary and aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak. Hugely perfumed, with ample violets, mulberries, blueberries, lusty raspberries, anise all filling a fuller, fleshy palate that is held aloft with a riveting acidity. Tannins are grippy but subtle; the ripe fruit and acidity gobbled up that new oak. Quite polished, while fresh, and ready for drinking now.Tasted: 20 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
