DESCRIPTION
A sumptuous and opulent, premium Argentinian Malbec from the respected Doña Paula winery.
The lowdown:
One of their premier wines, this 100% Malbec comes from their 'Alluvia' vineyard in the Uco Valley and is 1,350 metres above sea level. After cold maceration it underwent a natural fermentation and then spent 16 months in a mix of old and new French oak barriques. On the nose it has an array of really attractive dark plum and berry fruit aromas while on the palate the rich dark fruit flavours show through with a hint of raspberry and mineral notes. The textured structure gives it a refined and sophisticated feel right through to the lingering finish.
When to drink:
Always a critically acclaimed wine, it's very well crafted and is wonderful all by itself, or with big flavoured meat dishes like beef wellington.
Suitable for Vegans
