2022 Achaval-Ferrer Malbec, Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina

Bright violet in colour, this textbook Malbec is fresh and floral, with aromas of blackberry, plums and violets. The rounded palate boasts soft, silky tannins and a long finish.

Our thoughts

Premium Argentinian brand Achaval Ferrer is defined by quality over quantity, and is unusual in Mendoza in making wine purely from its own grapes and neither buying nor selling fruit. As UK agent for the producer, we couldn’t be prouder to be bringing you this classic example of new-wave Mendoza Malbec, harnessing power, balance and fragrance. This is the lighter, fresher style of the country’s signature variety, delivered here via fermentation in concrete and maturation in old French oak. In magnum format, it is the ultimate crowd-pleaser.
