ARGENTO Estate Reserve Malbec, Organic

Deep purple; aromas of purple plum, black cherry, vanilla and spice; on the palate it is dry, structured and full bodied with flavours of blackberry and vanilla.

Argento is an organic malbec, made in the less-is-more mould, grown at Luján de Cuyo, just south of Mendoza, and much further south at Altimira in the Uco Valley. It is fermented in stainless steel and briefly aged in French oak for three months to provide a touch of expansion on the palate. Look for a drier style along with plenty of ripe black fruit and a dose of earthy, cedary tannins. There is a touch of reduction removed by a splash decant or simply swirling the wine in your glass. Ready to drink with meat casseroles, stews, or empanadas.
