Escorihuela Gascón 1884 Finca E. G. Malbec 2021
Mendoza, ArgentinaEscorihuela Gascón has been exploring its terroir since 1884, and it continues today. The entry level malbec is made from select parcels that provide a soft, friendly, welcoming note for wine drinkers. The Agrelo area is a site favoured by catabatic winds that push out the warm air every evening, leaving the vineyard and the grapes fresh. 60% was aged in French and American oak for eight months. The fruit is juicy and rich in plum and blueberry, with soft tannins. Well made, reasonably priced, and ready to drink.Tasted: 29 March 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $19.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
