Why you'll love it: generous, crowd-pleasing Argentine Malbec built for the grill, smooth and richly fruited.

The Vineyard

Sourced from selected vineyards in Cruz de Piedra, Maipú, where the vines grow on alluvial clay-loam soils at around 850 metres elevation. The warm 2023 vintage prompted an early harvest to keep freshness and balance, and the wine was aged nine months in old oak barrels for subtle complexity without masking the pure fruit.
