Alamos Malbec

Min. Quantity: 3

The Alamos Malbec blends the deeply concentrated plum flavors of the country’s signature variety, Malbec, with small portions of Syrah and Bonarda to add dark cherry and blackberry flavors. Well-integrated hints of brown spice and vanilla contribute layers of complexity white a full structure, firm tannins and a long finish that create an expansive palate that is hard to forget. Growing conditions in Mendoza are truly ideal for Argentinian Malbec, intense sunlight and pure snowmelt water from the Andes contribute to a vibrant and richly flavoured red wine that is ideal with steak, roast lamb, hard cheeses or empanadas.

The Malbec grapes were handpicked, destemmed, crushed and cold soaked for three days prior to fermentation. During fermentation, the wine was 'pumped over' several times, a technique whereby the juice from the bottom of the vat was pumped back over the 'cap' of skins that are on top of the juice. This increased the extraction of colour and tannins from the skins. After fermentation, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation to create a rounder mouthfeel before 6-8 months of aging in French barrels at medium toast level.
