Description
Los Chacayes is an extraordinary terroir. Its sandy, rocky loam soil guarantees good permeability, limits the growth of the plant and ensures perfect ripening. BenMarco Malbec is a testimony of Valle de Uco, endowed with aromas of black berries, notes of violets, pronounced acidity, firm tannins and great length. Pair with grilled red meats, sausages, seasoned or roasted pork, hard cheeses and pasta with meat-based sauces.

The 2021 BenMarco Malbec was produced with fruit from Los Chacayes in Valle de Uco, fermented destemmed in stainless steel and matured in second use French oak barrels for 11 months. It’s floral, spicy, aromatic, showy and expressive with the aromatic flowers with very integrated oak. It has both good ripeness, 14.3% alcohol, with good freshness and fine tannins. They produced an impressive 240,000 bottles.

There is vibrancy and energy in this structured Malbec. The nose offers chalk and light notes of berries. It’s full-bodied, with mineral-textured tannins supporting subtle flavors of cranberry, blackberry and black pepper. A touch of jarilla and rosemary fade in the aftertaste.

Broad, ripe and juicy, but perhaps too reliant upon the fruit, with only subtle herb and spice notes chiming in on the finish. Drink now. 19,000 cases made, 14,000 cases imported.
