Mendoza, ArgentinaArgento is an organic malbec, made in the less-is-more mould, grown at Luján de Cuyo, just south of Mendoza, and much further south at Altimira in the Uco Valley. It is fermented in stainless steel and briefly aged in French oak for three months to provide a touch of expansion on the palate. Look for a drier style along with plenty of ripe black fruit and a dose of earthy, cedary tannins. There is a touch of reduction removed by a splash decant or simply swirling the wine in your glass. Ready to drink with meat casseroles, stews, or empanadas.Tasted: 17 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:
Mendoza, ArgentinaThis organic malbec comes from vineyards in Luján de Cuyo, and Altamira. After a stainless ferment, it rested in French oak for 3 months. Ripe blackberry, wild blueberry, fills a juicy palate, framed with smoothed, pasty tannins. The finish is brief, and this carries its 14.5% alcohol easily. Best matched with pot pies or hearty stews.Tasted: 27 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:
