Tasting notes

The 2020 Gran Malbec was produced with ripe organic grapes from Gualtallary and contains 5% each Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, which I guess can give some nuance and freshness. It's spicy and a bit oaky, with ripe fruit and a round palate with abundant, slightly grainy tannins.

About this wine

Domaine Bousquet is a family-owned winery located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Argentina. The winery was founded in 1997 by the Bousquet family, who had a long history of winemaking in France. The family was drawn to Argentina because of its ideal climate and soil conditions for growing grapes.

Gran Malbec is one of the flagship wines produced by Domaine Bousquet. This wine is made from 100% Malbec grapes, which are grown in the high-altitude vineyards of the Tupungato region. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used in the wine.

The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, which gives it a complex and rich flavour profile. The nose is full of ripe black fruit, such as blackberry and black cherry, with hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with firm tannins and a long, smooth finish.

Gran Malbec is a wine that truly showcases the terroir of the Tupungato region. The high altitude and cool climate of the region give the wine its unique character and flavour profile. This wine is perfect for pairing with grilled meats, hearty stews, and strong cheeses. Enjoy a glass of Gran Malbec and experience the unique terroir of the Tupungato region.
