Red wine | Mendoza, Argentina
Anubis Malbec is a quintessential expression of Argentina’s most iconic grape, crafted by the legendary winemaker Susana Balbo. Known as the 'Evita Perón' of the Argentine wine industry, Balbo brings decades of expertise to this label, designed to offer high-quality, approachable wines that celebrate the vibrant terroir of Mendoza. Grown at high altitudes in the foothills of the Andes—approximately 1,000 meters above sea level—these grapes benefit from intense sunlight during the day and cooling breezes at night, which preserves the perfect balance of freshness and flavor concentration. In the glass, this Malbec presents a beautiful, deep ruby color. The nose is immediately inviting, filled with varietal-typical aromas of ripe raspberries, blackcurrants, and plums, elegantly accented by a whisper of vanilla from its four-month maturation in French oak barrels. On the palate, it is remarkably velvety and soft, with a juicy, fruit-forward profile that makes it exceptionally easy to drink. It is a true 'gastronomic' wine, meaning it is specifically crafted to pair beautifully with a wide array of foods. Because of its medium body and refined tannins, it is a fantastic companion for classic Argentine beef, such as a grilled ribeye or a hearty churrasco. Its fruitiness and subtle spice also make it a wonderful match for pizza with tomato-based sauces, braised leg of lamb with herbs, or a selection of creamy cheeses like Camembert. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or simply enjoying a relaxing evening at home, Anubis Malbec provides an accessible entry point into the premium world of Susana Balbo Wines, delivering an experience that is both sophisticated and incredibly enjoyable. It represents the perfect synergy between traditional viticultural values and modern winemaking precision, capturing the spirit and soul of the Mendoza region in every bottle.
