Part of the story of this tremendous, historic producer is its gentle evolution into the modern era. This cracking Malbec comes from Benegas plantings in their own Finca La Encerrada vineyard in Gualtallary, Uco Valley. Floral and mineral aromatics typical of this area mingle with impressive black fruit concentration in a wine that is big and polished but ultimately fresh and very finely judged with just 6 months in second use French oak barrels.
Benegas Estate Malbec wine is a brilliant red ruby colour. Aromas of ripe strawberry and plum with floral violet notes. With lovely soft and round tannins, this wine is velvety with a long and lingering finish. A lovely, big decadent bottle of Malbec for sharing or keeping for a few years. Pair with roasted or barbecued red meats.
