Description
In a nutshell:
A complex and elegant Argentinian Malbec from the northern Salta region.
The lowdown:
Amalaya's vineyards are in the Calchaquí Valley which is the highest wine region in the world and one of the most remote. After fermentation about a quarter of the wine was aged in French oak for 10 months prior to blending and bottling. There's a little Tannat and Petit Verdot among the Malbec here and together gives rich aromas of dark fruits, herbs, sweet spice and subtle oak. It's wonderfully smooth on the palate with ripe, sweet blackcurrant fruit, oak spice, liquorice, mint and cedar notes while the tannins are velvety and rounded and the finish long and lingering.
The Producer:
Founded in 2010 in the stunning high-altitude Calchaqui Valley of Argentina's Salta wine region, Bodega Amalaya is part of the famous Hess Family Wine Estates from Napa Valley. Sitting over 1,800m above sea level, the vineyards soak up intense sun by day and cool off with chilly nights. This combination gives their wines amazingly concentrated flavours, brisk acidity, and fine tannins. Their wines are a treat, capturing the unique character of their extraordinary terroir.
When to drink:
Reliably good value it's a perfect to go with barbecued red meats or roasted lamb and beef.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
