Portillo Malbec 2023 Valle de Uco, Mendoza, Argentina

This medium bodied Malbec from Salentein Vineyards - award winning!! - has an enticing bouquet of ripe red and black fruits on the nose. If you give it a chance to breathe, you'll get subtle floral notes (such as violet) which adds to the overall aroma.

It offers a smooth and velvety texture on the palate, with flavours of blackberries, plums, and cherries and a hint of dark chocolate and vanilla. It has a well balanced acidity, adding freshness and vibrancy to the overall taste, with a very pleasant lingering finish of ripe fruits and a touch of spice.

This isn't a heavy style of Malbec (as it’s medium bodied), but more of an everyday style.
