2023 Inkarri Malbec, Luján de Cuyo, Argentina

ABOUT THE WINE

Produced in the renowned Luján de Cuyo appellation in Mendoza, this Malbec reflects the high-altitude vineyards and sunny, dry climate that have made Argentina a world-class source for the variety. Warm days encourage full ripening and depth of flavor, while cool Andean nights help preserve freshness, aromatic lift, and balance.

The 2023 vintage showcases ripe black fruit layered with floral and savory complexity. Fermentation and aging are carefully managed to maintain varietal purity while adding texture and subtle spice through measured oak influence. The result is a wine that combines richness and concentration with elegance and drinkability.

On the palate, flavors of blackberry, blueberry, and black plum are complemented by notes of mocha, vanilla, and soft spice. Smooth tannins and balanced acidity create a rounded mouthfeel and approachable structure, making the wine enjoyable both on its own and at the table.

An excellent match for grilled steaks, empanadas, barbecue, roasted vegetables, braised meats, and aged cheeses.
