In just 15 years Bodega Estancia Mendoza has grown to become one of the 5 best-selling wine brands in Argentina and in 2017, the winery was recognised as one of the top 5 most awarded Argentinean wineries by the World Rankings of Wine & Spirits. The winery is located in the highlands of Mendoza, in a region known as the Uco Valley; the Land of Malbec. This area is widely regarded as one of the best winegrowing regions in the country. With crops at 1,100 metres above sea level, its high altitude and unique terroir of stony soils, natural irrigation of mineralised meltwater from the great Andes mountains and a climate of intensely hot summers and snowy winters all combines together to produce grapes and wines of intense flavour and elegance. It really is like no other place on earth and the wines produced from there are equally as unique

They were then aged for 8 months in second use French Oak barrel then aged for four months in bottle.

This Malbec has been crafted to deliver both a full bodied palate with weight and length but also bright blackcurrant fruit flavours to give a wine that is complex, smooth and delicious.
The finesse and balance of this wine makes it appealing now but with careful cellaring, this wine will keep for up to 8 years. Decant before serving
