Distillery Information

To recap, Malbec is a full-bodied red wine that originated in France but grows mainly in Argentina. While French Malbec is more savory and tart, with firm tannins and flavors of plum and leather, Argentinian Malbec is more fruit-forward, with a velvety texture and flavors of cocoa and plum.
It is made from carefully selected grapes from vineyards aged between 30 and 50 years old. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels and then additionally in bottles before release. The harmonious coexistence of fruit and wood over time has made this a great wine, characterized by elegance and complexity.
If you're new to the world of Malbec, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Argentina is its true home. However, while 75% of the world's Malbec comes from Argentina, Malbec originated from France and is produced in a number of other countries across the world.is the must-have grape of the moment.
