Lujan De Cuyo, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Malbrado – Malbec / 2023
Luján de Cuyo – Mendoza / Argentina 🇦🇷
Overview
100% Malbec from the foothills of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards shaped by arid conditions, intense sun exposure, and alluvial soils. A modern expression of Argentine Malbec focused on balance, texture, and site-driven character.
Aromas & Flavors
Ripe black plum, blackberry, and dark cherry layered with subtle cocoa, violet, and a touch of warm spice. Hints of earth and mineral undertones reflect its rugged origin.
Mouthfeel
Medium+ to full-bodied with a lovely, polished texture. The mid-palate shows depth and precision, carrying fruit with clarity. Tannins are firm yet integrated, leading to a solid, structured finish that remains controlled rather than overpowering.
Food Pairings
Grilled skirt steak, chimichurri, roasted lamb, empanadas, or mushroom-based dishes.
Verdict
A confident and expressive Malbec that captures the strength of Mendoza without falling into excess. Excellent value for a wine that delivers both structure and drinkability.
🍷 Did You Know?
Luján de Cuyo is one of Argentina’s first officially recognized appellations (DOC), and its foothill vineyards benefit from significant diurnal shifts, helping Malbec retain freshness while achieving full ripeness.
