Montañés Malbec

• Vintage: 2021
• Origin: San Rafael, Mendoza, Argentina
• Taste Guide: An open bouquet of dried fruit, with a hint of spice. Palate is smooth and full of dark forest fruits with hints of delicate vanilla and silky chocolate. This wine is elegant, yet concentrated on the palate. A complex and structured body gives way to velvety, soft tannins with a fine lingering finish. A lot of Malbec for your money here, very drinkable. Tasted November ‘23

• Food pairing: Perfect in combination with red meats, game and pasta.
  
• 75cl - 13.5% - Natural Cork Opening

Since 1800, when the first Scots landed in Buenos Aires harbour, they have embraced and influenced the culture of Argentina. Upon seeing Argentina’s familiar lofty mountains and beautiful heathlands, the term Highlander or Montañés became synonymous with their new home. Today, the area surrounding Mendoza boasts a vibrant community of Scottish-Argentines, and nowhere more so than San Rafael where this wine is produced by the oldest winery of the region. Montañés the wine is a tribute to the original Highlander of those mountainous lands.
