1884 Malbec Mendoza 75 cl

1884 Malbec Mendoza from Bodegas Escorihuela Gascón is an Argentinian red wine from Mendoza, vinified from Malbec. The wine combines the fruit-driven style of the grape variety with soft structure, gentle tannins and subtle barrique influence. Fermentation takes place under temperature control in stainless steel tanks, after which the wine matures for 8 months in new and 2-3-year-old barriques made from 50% French and 50% American oak. In the glass, it shows a beautiful dark red colour with violet reflections. On the nose, intense aromas of red and black berries, plums and cherries unfold, complemented by a hint of mocha. On the palate, it is soft and accessible, with gentle tannins and an elegant finish.

Producer: Bodegas Escorihuela Gascón

Bodegas Escorihuela Gascón is the oldest winery in the city of Mendoza and was founded in 1884 in Godoy Cruz. The estate is closely linked to the history of Argentinian viticulture and stands for wines that combine origin, varietal character and precise vinification. The bodega places great importance on careful vineyard work, selective grape selection and a clear style. Mendoza, with its high-altitude sites, dry conditions and large temperature differences between day and night, offers ideal conditions for this. Malbec in particular finds conditions here that combine ripe fruit, freshness, soft structure and concentration.
