Malacara Wines
91 Point Malacara Argentinian Malbec // Set of 4 // 750ml Each
Product Description
Legend has it that on 3rd April 1884 in the Valley of the Martyrs, in Argentine Patagonia, a gaucho riding a white-faced horse called Malacara escaped the ambush of Pehuenche native Indians when he was hit by an arrow. According to legend, Malacara continued on his way and left the attackers behind by jumping over a dangerous cliff that other horses dared not jump. He galloped day and night with his injured owner clinging to his mane. He crossed the high peaks of the Andes, crossed the fertile lands of Valle de Uco, and finally returned him safely.
Malacara lived until 1909 and since then, in Patagonia, all the brave horses that carry a white spot on their face are given his name. A sturdy horse, loyal and direct, that was born in the same land as the 2017 Malacara Malbec, in a mythical valley where if you are silent, you can still hear the sound of Malacara galloping.
“Blueberry and stone aromas with hints of blue flowers. Medium body, firm and silky tannins. Some black tea and herb undertones.” 91 Points, James Suckling
Tucked under the massive shoulders of the Andes Mountains in west central Argentina, the province of Mendoza is renowned for housing some of the best winegrowing regions of Argentina. The character of Mendoza wines is forged in high altitude desert vineyards irrigated by mineral-rich snowmelt from glaciers and snowfields. High altitude means cool temperatures and clear air, and clear air means more sunlight for building flavor in the grapes, helping to make Mendoza the source of Argentina’s well-earned reputation for top quality, unique wines.

FAQ
The grapes were hand-harvested, destemmed, and crushed. They must be chilled and cold-soaked for 72 hours prior to fermentation for additional extraction of color, tannins, and flavor. Fermentation took place in upright, conical tanks at 29° Celsius (85°F) for six to eight days. The wine underwent full malolactic fermentation. It was bottled-aged for 6 months before being released into the market.
