TOP 5 MUST-TRY MALBECS
When it comes to Argentine wine, Malbec is impossible to overlook – this wine varietal has breathed new life into the country's wine industry. Malbec is not only a symbol of Argentina but also regarded as the "king" of wines here.
Malbec wine is an excellent choice for wine enthusiasts. With its diversity in flavors and quality, you can easily find a Malbec bottle to suit your taste at any price point.
And when discussing Malbec wines worth trying at least once, we cannot ignore the following exceptional wines:
1. Flechas de Los Andes Gran Malbec
Flechas de Los Andes was born from the partnership between Baron Benjamin de Rothschild and Laurent Dassault in their quest for a great terroir at the foot of the Andes. With a composition of 100% Malbec, Flechas de Los Andes Gran Malbec is not just a bottle of wine but a masterpiece crafted from the Andes, showcasing the purest essence of this region.
Lovely floral lift with intense, smooth, chocolatey black fruit. The wine has plenty of nice mouth feel and presence, with plenty of richness on the finish.
Punta de Flechas Malbec is also an impressive creation by Baron Edmond de Rothschild, offering a distinctly unique experience compared to Flechas de Los Andes Gran Malbec. Delightful berry aromas. A smooth Malbec wine with fleshy palate, flavours of herbal berry fruits and black currant. Hints of green herbs and peppery spice.
In 1999, with almost two decades dedicating her talent to national and international companies in the wine business working as a consultant, Susana Balbo decided to make her dream of having a winery of her own come true and that was the moment Susana Balbo Wines put down roots in the heart of Luján de Cuyo Mendoza. Susana Balbo Crios Malbec is an epitome of refinement and elegance in Susana Balbo's winemaking style, a wine line that is approachable yet profound.
A fresh, pure expression of the varietal, with aromas of violet, cherry, mocha, and spice. Juicy tannins and balanced acidity complement perfectly ripened fruit flavors, while a subtle hint of oak adds complexity.
4. Bodega Argento Estate Reserve Malbec
Bodega Argento is Argentina's largest organic grower and wine producer, offering a collection of award-winning, naturally balanced, vibrant wines crafted from some of the finest organic vineyards in Mendoza and the Uco Valley. From the Estate Range, through the Reserva Collection, to the pinnacle of the new Single Vineyard and Single Block wines, all of their wines are certified sustainable and vegan, made from certified organic grapes.
Bodega Argento Estate Reserve Malbec has a deep purple color and is full of ripe fruit aromas, such as plums and black cherries with a hint of spices. The red fruit flavors are well integrated with some oak notes due to gente aging and complemented by soft tannins.
Gran Reserva is the new icon of sustainable wine from the famous Chilean winery Concha y Toro, the result of a journey to create wines that bring people back to nature. The introduction of this "green" brand once again affirms Concha Y Toro's commitment to the environment after receiving the B-Corp certification for businesses on "social and environmental activities".
Deep, intense purple in color. The nose presents aromas of black fruits, blueberries, plums, and chocolate. The palate is concentrated, with soft, sweet tannins and black fruit flavors.
