Alamos Malbec 2023, Mendoza + Fynbos Buchu Chocolate Pairing

Earthy meets aromatic in this wild-at-heart pairing. Alamos Malbec’s juicy plum, mocha, and soft spice find a surprisingly elegant partner in the herbal, floral notes of Buchu. The result is rich and grounded with a whisper of something untamed—like a sunset stroll through a Cape fynbos trail, glass in hand.

A vibrant, fresh and easy to drink Malbec as perfect introduction to the style of Mendoza.

Alamos Malbec 2023 beckons us on an odyssey through vibrant flavours and scents. On the nose, it unfurls ripe plum and succulent blackberry notes, interwoven with hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Violets and aromatic herbs add a delightful freshness. Upon tasting, its youthful and exuberant profile emerges, with a subtle spicy undertone that accentuates its character. This Argentine Malbec is a genuine expression of fruit and spice, perfect for those seeking to uncover the essence of an approachable and vivacious red wine.

On March 26, 2015, American singer Lady Gaga uploaded a photo on her social media. In it, the singer was seen waiting for her fiancé with a glass of wine. The back label on the bottle read Alamos Malbec. Nothing more and nothing less than a great Argentine red wine.

Some years have passed since then. However, the quality of this red wine, produced by the Catena Zapata winery, is still extraordinary. It has a century of hard work and family tradition behind it; generation after generation, this family has been making wines in the province of Mendoza, in the region of Cuyo, in the central west of Argentina. Here the vineyards grow in a desert environment, at an altitude between 900 and 1,500 metres above sea level. Malbec, which is the most cultivated variety in the area, is hydrated thanks to the mineral-rich melt water that falls from the Andes. The berries are subjected to a wide range of temperatures, with some very cool temperatures and many hours of sunshine.

As Lady Gaga herself would say “Today is perfect so far”; and that’s true! With a bottle of Alamos Malbec.
