Vallisto Malbec (Argentina)

In a world of painfully average Malbec, this stands out from the crowd. 

Deep purple and viscous in the glass, the intensity of flavour is given away from first glance. The nose is bountiful with sticky black cherry, squishy plum, a variety of spices and wild herbs. Big and beautifully rounded on the palate with rich, ripe black fruit flavours, more spice, and a long finish with hints of delicate fig, liquorice and vanilla pod. The texture is soft and the tannins are very fine.

This single vineyard Malbec from Viña San Luis represents pretty much everything that makes Cafayate special. For those who like their Malbec painted with a decadent splash of inky purple fruit, this location, and this wine specifically, deliver in spades.

Grab this as a treat for any Malbec lover in your life to give them a taste of the good stuff.

Pair with beef or venison. Pure decadence.
