Description

The Porteño Malbec is a tribute to Buenos Aires, the vibrant heart of Argentina. It embodies the spirit of the city, blending tradition with modernity. Produced by Bodega Norton, a winery with over a century of history in Mendoza, this Malbec is a true expression of the Argentine terroir. Bodega Norton stands as one of the oldest and most respected wineries in Argentina, established in 1895 by Edmund James Palmer Norton. Situated at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, the winery benefits from the high-altitude vineyards, which contribute to the concentration of flavors and the unique characteristics of their wines. The winery is committed to sustainable practices. The grapes are carefully selected from their vineyards, ensuring only the highest quality fruit is used in the winemaking process. The Porteño Malbec is fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve its fresh fruit flavors. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation to soften its acidity, and a portion is aged in oak barrels to add complexity and structure.

On the nose, it presents an enticing bouquet of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums, complemented by subtle floral notes of violet and a hint of spice. The palate is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with smooth tannins and a refreshing acidity that leads to a lingering finish. The Porteño Malbec is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Its fruity and spicy character makes it an excellent match for grilled meats, such as Argentine asado. It also complements pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, empanadas, and hard cheeses. Serve it slightly chilled, around 16°C (60°F), to fully appreciate its flavors.

Imagine yourself in a cozy Argentine bistro, the aroma of grilled meats filling the air, the sounds of tango music in the background. As you take a sip of this wine, you're transported to the heart of Buenos Aires, experiencing the passion and energy of the city. With its affordable price and wide availability, the Porteño Malbec is the perfect choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions. It's a wine that invites conversation and celebration, bringing people together with its vibrant flavors and rich history. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or a curious newcomer, the Porteño Malbec will not disappoint. It's a taste of Argentina that you can savor and share with friends and family.
