Product Description
- Red wine
- The Gran Reservado Malbec is our flagship wine, hand-crafted by winemaker Hervé J Fabre to showcase the stunning quality that Argentine Malbec can produce. The grapes are hand-picked and are carefully selected before a long, slow fermentation. The wine is then aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels. The nose has ripe black cherry fruit aromas with perfumed elegance from hints of violets and liquorice. The palate is smooth and rich, with plenty of dark fruit, layers of soft oak, and lighter floral notes.

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 twice in order to select the best grapes for this wine. Cold maceration takes for 5 days followed by fermentation in temperature controlled tanks at 28° with indigenous yeast and 4 pump overs per day and a period of 25 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.
