Vista Flores, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina — 100% Malbec
Deep violet-black in the glass with black-berry and plum aromas, layered with violet and subtle mocha or dark-chocolate notes, plus a hint of sweet spice and leather. On the palate the wine delivers rich dark and red fruit flavours — think blackcurrant, blueberry and plum — supported by velvety texture, firm but smooth tannins, and a juicy lift of acidity that keeps it fresh and long on the finish. Given its structure and depth, this Malbec is a great match for grilled steaks, lamb chops, smoky barbecued meats or roast pork; for something less heavy, it also works nicely with mushroom-heavy dishes, hard cheeses, or even a bean-and-tomato stew.
