About Alturo Malbec Mendoza 75cl

Wine laws are often a headache for producers – but they’re a gift to you. The majority of grapes for this Malbec come from the Uco Valley. It’s an enclave of quality in Malbec-hotspot Mendoza, with wines commanding high prices. But because of convoluted wine shipping laws we can only label it as generic ‘Mendoza’ Malbec – so you get it for an absolute steal. Because this is a really fantastic quality wine. It’s made with grapes from vineyards at seriously high altitude – over 3500 feet above sea level. It means the flavours become concentrated in the intense sun, but the nightly temperature drop keeps it fresh and silky. It’s packed with red berry fruity flavours – strawberries and cherries – with a pretty, violet-like aroma. Soft and approachable, it’s perfect with chargrilled vegetables.
