Bright red with intense violet tints. Aromas of fruits such as black plums and blackberries stand out. the aging in oak provides spicy and chocolate aromas. The palate is complex and tasty with ripe tannins and a balanced acidity.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2023 Malbec Wapisa from the Atlantic coast of Río Negro showcases pure black fruit with blackberry, blueberry and plum dominating. The palate is dry and lean for the variety, with intense fruit-focused flavors and an enveloping texture. The clean, fruit-driven finish is flavorful and satisfying, with a less concentrated but elevated profile.

This is a minty malbec, showing dark fruit and dried herbs. The palate is sleek yet round and approachable with a juicy, fresh finish.

The 2023 Malbec offers a blue and purple-fruited nose with aromas of wet concrete, fresh herbs and a distinctively buoyant energy. The palate is plush and wide before concluding with a lifted, structured finish that builds additional powdery tannic intensity with time in the glass. Along with the Cabernet Sauvignon bottling, this singular and engaging expression of Malbec is a highlight of the Wapisa range.
