The quest for higher quality has seen Argentina’s most ambitious winemakers push into the Andes foothills where the higher altitude and meagre soils produce the finest grapes.
Man Meets Mountain celebrates those that face up to and conquer the challenges posed by nature and brings to you a harmonious Malbec, packed full of blueberry, blackcurrant and plum and a complex and delicious finish. This is part-oaked, softening out the edges and adding secondary notes of toast and woodspice.
This is a beautifully expression of the variety; the wonderfully lifted bouquet shows blackcurrant, blueberry, dried herb, anise and roasted nut aromas, leading to a flavoursome palate that's richly textured and fleshy. Tannins are polished and well melded, finishing long and very tasty. 93 points.
