Very nice
Full bodied and smooth
Product Description
- Red wine
- This rich and inviting Malbec comes from one of Argentina's top wineries, where Winemaker Hervé J Fabre crafts a range of award-winning wines. The grapes for this wine are grown in the Uco Valley in the foothills of the Andes, an area which provides the optimum growing conditions. This wine has an intense and powerful nose with ripe black fruit notes and hints of smoke. Its palate is wonderfully complex, with sumptuous blackcurrant and plum flavours combining with toasty vanilla oak to create an elegant and full-bodied delight. Great with any red meat, but sublime with a juicy steak.

Vinification Details
- The grapes are harvested in the first half of April by hand into small trays of 20kg to prevent damage and then meticulously sorted in order to select the best grapes for this wine. Cold maceration takes for 5 days followed by fermentation in temperature controlled tanks at 26-28° with 4 pump overs per day and a period of 20 days of maceration.
History
- The wines are made by Bordeaux-born pioneer Hervé J. Fabre who was the first to make single varietal Argentine Malbec after recognising the true potential of the grape. Viñalba offers a range of beautifully crafted wines, combining Argentina's purity of fruit and clear varietal expression with the elegance and complexity which are the hallmarks of Hervé's classical background.
