Cavolo Preto is a Malbec Reserva from the Uco Valley, Mendoza — produced by Gonzalo Gouguenheim from high-altitude vineyards in the foothills of the Andes. Aged eight months in oak barrels, it delivers greater structure and flavour complexity than the entry-level Malbec, while retaining the freshness and fruit that the cool Uco Valley terroir provides.About This WineA full-bodied, oak-aged Malbec Reserva from one of Argentina's most exciting high-altitude wine regions. Eight months in oak adds vanilla, spice, and structure without masking the expressive dark fruit character of the grape. Well-balanced with soft tannins and a long finish, it punches well above its weight at this price point.Tasting NotesColour: Dark ruby redNose: Expressive red fruit, plum, and blackcurrant with underlying vanilla and toasted oakPalate: Full-bodied and rich with good acidity, soft tannins, and layered dark fruitFinish: Long and satisfying with lingering fruit and a warm spice closeFood PairingA natural partner for red meats, grilled steak, slow-cooked beef, and Asian-spiced dishes.
