A rich and expressive Malbec from the heart of Mendoza, crafted by the boutique winery Bodegas Staphyle. Sourced from vineyards in the renowned sub-regions of Agrelo and Ugarteche, this approachable yet characterful wine showcases the vibrant fruit and smooth elegance that have made Argentine Malbec famous around the world.
Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby red in colour with vivid violet highlights, the nose is generous and inviting, offering aromas of ripe plum, blackberry and black cherry, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla, sweet spice and gentle toasted oak. The palate is smooth and rounded, revealing layers of juicy dark berry fruit balanced by soft tannins and refreshing acidity. A touch of oak adds richness and texture, leading to a long, balanced finish with excellent depth and freshness.
Winemaking:
Produced from carefully selected Malbec grapes grown in the vineyards of Agrelo and Ugarteche in Mendoza. Following temperature-controlled fermentation, a portion of the wine is matured in French oak barrels for around six months, adding subtle complexity and structure while preserving the purity of the fruit.
Food Pairing:
An excellent match for grilled steaks, barbecued meats and slow-cooked beef dishes. It also pairs beautifully with roast lamb, gourmet burgers, rich tomato-based pasta dishes, mature hard cheeses and chargrilled vegetables.
ABV: 13.5%
