Silver Medal: Argentina Wine Awards 2011
Matured in French and American oak barrels. A velvet-soft, easy-drinking expression of the Malbec variety – plenty of lush dark fruit characters and touches of spice and chocolate. These flavours combine with sweet tannins to give a balanced wine with great body and pleasant length.
Enjoy with red meat and barbecues.
Sourced from the Agrelo and Vistalba regions, widely recognised as the quality heartland of Mendoza. Hand-harvested from old vine ungrafted rootstock Malbec.
Produced by Dominio del Plata in a winery and vineyard set in the most breathtaking surroundings – the snow-capped Andes loom over the place with an almost god-like air of approval. This is a cathedral to wine, stunningly designed in a way that combines utter exactitude with a true sense of organic charm.
From the painstakingly tended rows of vines like marching armies of well-disciplined disciples, to the warmth and homeliness of the winery itself, you can’t help but fall in love with the place. All of this was, of course, the brain-child of enologist extraordinaire, Susana Balbo. Susana, South America’s first woman winemaker, has been an inspiration for many over the years, with her drive and passion for wine and the wine business globally. A truly outstanding winemaker.
