Description
In a nutshell:
When a blackcurrant bonanza meets a bonfire on a cool autumn night a Malbec with both vibrant fruit and a touch of brooding, savoury charm.
The lowdown:
Pop the cork and close your eyes for a moment. Imagine yourself whisked away to a sun-drenched Argentine vineyard. Breathe in. That's the perfume of this Malbec - all ripe plums and sweet blackberries, dusted with a touch of cocoa and something intriguingly smoky, like a distant bonfire. Take a sip and you're met with a burst of juicy fruit flavours, laced with hints of spice and tobacco. It's smooth and well-rounded, lingering on the palate with a whisper of vanilla and toast. This isn't your average Malbec, it's one that's seen a bit of life, spending a year snoozing in oak barrels before being bottled for your enjoyment. And you know what? It suits it rather well.
The Producer:
Nestled amidst the world's highest vineyards in Argentina's remote Salta region, Bodega El Esteco enjoys a rich heritage dating back to 1892. This long-established winery in the town of Cafayate boasts over 800 hectares of vines and is now part of the esteemed Grupo Peñaflor family. Head winemaker Alejandro Pepa masterfully harnesses their extensive, modern facilities. The result? Exemplary wines that showcase the unique terroir of Cafayate, expressing both the bright sunshine and the cool mountain air of this captivating region.
When to drink:
This full-bodied, spice-laden wine demands a Sunday roast or a sizzling steak fresh from the grill.
Suitable for Vegans
