Alamos Malbec 2023/24, Uco Valley

This was the number one most-awarded Malbec worldwide in 2018 and 2019. No wonder, when it’s grown in such extraordinary circumstances. The vineyards are in the foothills of the Andes, 5,000 feet above sea level, where everything is more intense. Plentiful sunlight and cool nights here mean Malbec grapes with plenty of delicious fruit flavour. Expect flavours of blackcurrant, ripe plum and spice. Decadently rich with a plush, mouth-filling texture. It’s a classic inky, full-bodied Malbec, bold enough to enjoy with a hearty steak. In 2022, this wine won an IWC award for the 2021 vintage.
