Product Notes

Amalaya Calchaquí Valley Malbec is a tantalising Argentinian red wine known for its full-bodied richness. Deep ruby in colour, it offers an enticing bouquet of mixed berries, spice, and mocha hints. Its flavour profile exhibits a seamless blend of ripe plum, redcurrant and hint of tobacco, all exquisitely balanced with gentle tannins and a soft, lingering finish. Evenly integrated oak imparts a subtle complexity to the palate. This Malbec, from the heights of Argentina's Calchaquí Valley, is a sublime expression of the region, embodying a fantastic blend of complexity and drinkability. Ideal pairing for robust, meaty dishes.
