Product Description

Red wine

This inviting red comes from one of Argentina's top wineries, where Winemaker Hervé J Fabre crafts his 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 Cabernet Sauvignon has a classic nose with blackcurrant aromas, hints of black cherry and a touch of spiced plum. The palate is rich and elegant, bursting with juicy blackcurrant flavours leading to a smooth, succulent finish. A perfect accompaniment to hearty stews, roast lamb or venison.

Vinification Details

The grapes are harvested at the end of March 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.

Regional Information

Mendoza has become one of the most dynamic wine producing regions in the world with an enviable array of grape varieties, many of which are planted at high altitudes.

Great Value Wine

5 stars

full bodied, excellent with red meat.

There are better reds for lower prices than this

I was disappointed with this. I know my wines, and I was expecting a plummy, rounded, balanced red with bags of character. What I experienced instead was a harsh, slightly bitter, rather thin red, with absolutely no character. If I had been served this wine at a bar, I would have taken it back. I might chance the Viñalba Malbec next time; in my experience, Malbecs, especially from Argentina, are consistently good... although I may look for a different brand, having been stung by this one.
