Indulge in the exquisite Escorihuela Gascon Gran Reserva Malbec, a testament to Argentina's rich winemaking heritage. This exceptional wine hails from the prestigious Mendoza region, nestled at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Escorihuela Gascon, a winery with roots tracing back to 1884, embodies a legacy of passion and tradition, crafting wines that capture the essence of this unique terroir.
The Gran Reserva Malbec is a true expression of the Malbec grape, Argentina's flagship varietal. Grown in vineyards at an altitude of 1150 meters above sea level, the grapes benefit from the intense sunlight and cool mountain air, resulting in a wine with remarkable concentration and elegance. The 2023 vintage displays a deep ruby color, hinting at the intense flavors to come. On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and a touch of violet intermingle with subtle notes of vanilla and spice, a result of careful aging in French oak barrels.
On the palate, this Malbec is full-bodied and velvety, with a harmonious balance of fruit, tannins, and acidity. The flavors of dark fruits persist, complemented by hints of chocolate and coffee, leading to a long and satisfying finish. With an alcohol percentage of 14.5%, this wine is perfect for a nice night with family and friends.
This wine is ideally served at a temperature of 16°C, allowing its complex aromas and flavors to fully unfold. Decanting for about 20 minutes before serving is recommended to further enhance its character.
