Product Notes

Matias Riccitelli Vineyard Selection Malbec is an exquisite Argentinian wine, showcasing richness and sophistication. This ruby-red Malbec presents an aromatic onslaught of blackberries, ripe plums and a subtle hint of violets, underscored by subtle traces of spices and rich mocha. On the palate, it’s full-bodied with intense fruit flavours, soft tannins, and a superbly balanced acidity, culminating in a grand finish. Aged elegantly in French oak barrels, this wine oozes a deep, natural complexity. Matias Riccitelli Vineyard Selection Malbec is truly a sophisticated tipple, perfect for enhancing a gourmet meal or savouring on a special occasion.

Tasting Notes

Concentrated and powerful, this is a very complex yet elegant wine with aromas of wild blackberries, black cherries, liquorice and floral notes. Perfectly balanced with a great structure, rounded palate and an elegant finish.

About the Winery

Matias Riccitelli

Nestled in the heart of Argentina's prime wine-growing region, Matias Riccitelli winery is an exceptional vanguard of viticulture, renowned for its outstanding quality wines that perfectly capture the essence of Mendoza. Combining the wisdom of traditional winemaking methods with innovative practices and avant-garde flair, its eponymous founder, Matias Riccitelli, has carved out a unique place in the global winemaking terrestrial mosaic.

This boutique winery, independent and family-owned, features an eclectic range of exclusive, handcrafted wines distinctly Mendoza, a tantalising repertoire of taste and aroma profiles that represent the very essence of Argentina's wine heritage. Matias Riccitelli is dedicated to crafting beautiful wines that reflect the richness and diversity of the Mendoza terroir, velvet tapestries of sun-soaked vines, fertile soil, and the cool Andean breezes.

The jewel in the crown of Matias Riccitelli's portfolio is arguably its distinctive take on Argentine Malbec. A bold, robust wine with lush, dark fruit undertones and a beguiling complexity that evokes the region's captivating landscape. Emblematic of Riccitelli's dedication to quality are his vineyards, encapsulating both the Valley de Uco and Lujan de Cuyo where the majority of the old vines are planted.

Among the other crowd-pleasers are the Old Vines Semillon, the Hey Malbec! and the Republica Malbec, each offering a unique expression of the Mendoza terroir and underscoring Riccitelli's prowess as an innovative winemaker.

Visitors to the winery are treated to a full-bodied experience, not just the unforgettable wines. The winery's breath-taking surroundings, the jagged peaks of the Andes providing a dramatic backdrop to the luscious vineyards, create a visual spectacle equally as intoxicating as the wines themselves.

In a world where much of winemaking is mass-produced and commercialised, Matias Riccitelli stands as an inspiring testament to traditional craftsmanship, a celebration of the artisanal, the personal and the passionate. The confluence of craftsmanship and innovation, homed at Matias Riccitelli entrepreneurship, promises an exciting future for Argentine wine.
