Gran Malbec 2021

Located 120 kilometres south of Mendoza, Argentina, near the village of Vista Flores, the Flechas de los Andes vineyard now occupies more than 100 hectares in the Andean foothills. The first vines were planted in 1999 and they are quite dense for Argentina (5,500 vines per hectare).

The malbec grapes seem to have found their ideal location on these plots of rocks, granite pebbles and alluvial gravels perched at 1,100 metres above sea level.

Appearance: Deep, intense color with dark red tones and violet highlights. The visual impression reveals excellent concentration and ripe fruit.

Nose: Expressive and complex bouquet of ripe black fruits such as plum and black cherry, floral hints of violet typical of high-altitude Malbec, and delicate oak notes of vanilla and cocoa.

Palate: Generous and smooth on the attack, with well-integrated, ripe tannins. The wine shows a structured and balanced profile, lifted by mineral tension. The finish is long, fresh and elegant.

Food Pairing:Perfect with grilled or sauced red meats, roasted lamb, traditional Argentinian dishes like empanadas, or well-aged hard cheeses.

Serving Temperature: Serve between 16 and 18°C.
