Alamos Malbec

A classic Malbec from Mendoza that shows why Argentina has made this grape variety its own: dark fruity, full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a depth that goes far beyond the price.

Alamos belongs to the Catena Zapata group – one of the leading forces in Argentine winemaking. The grapes come from the highlands of Mendoza, where cool nights preserve the acidity and intense sunshine ensures optimal aromatic ripeness. Hand-harvesting is standard practice here, not just a marketing claim. The result is berries with a concentrated fruit profile and a refreshing structure.

In the glass, a deep ruby ​​red with violet reflections. On the nose, the wine opens with blackberry and cassis, followed by violets, a hint of leather, and dried herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied but not heavy: the tannins are round and well-integrated, the acidity provides structure without being harsh. The finish is long, dark-fruited, with a subtle hint of spice.
