The Séptima Malbec 2023 is an expressive red wine from the Mendoza region of Argentina, an area renowned worldwide for its high-quality Malbecs. The grapes for this wine are harvested by hand and carefully selected to ensure the best quality. After fermentation the wine matures for 6 months in American oak barrels, which adds to its complexity and structure. In the glass the wine shows a deep ruby colour with purple reflections. The aroma is rich and fruity, with prominent notes of ripe plums and blackberries, complemented by subtle hints of herbs and a touch of oak. On the palate the Séptima Malbec 2023 is smooth and balanced, with soft tannins that give a pleasant texture. The dark fruit flavours are nicely supported by a light spiciness and a hint of vanilla from the oak ageing. The finish is long and enjoyable, with a lasting impression of ripe fruit and a touch of spice. This wine is drinking well now, but can also age for a few more years to develop extra complexity. It is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own as well as with a wide range of dishes.
Excellent with grilled red meat, pasta with rich sauces and semi-hard cheeses. The wine's fruity and spicy notes complement these dishes harmoniously.
