Drew's Tasting Note

For lovers of juicy, spicy red wines, this Malbec offers ripe black fruit with a hint of eucalyptus on the nose. On the palate, these big, luscious black fruits are melded with cracked black pepper, a touch of spice, balanced with toasted vanilla oak. The finish is deliciously long. A perfect accompaniment to roast meat, roasted veg dishes, or pasta with a rich sauce. And let us not forget a platter of cheeses! I am a massive fan of this Malbec.

The Winery

Founded in 1909, the family-owned winery Humberto Canale played a significant role in developing viticulture in the Patagonian region. The Rio Negro valley provides a pristine setting and unique conditions for producing high-quality grapes; the unpolluted air brings great luminosity, while the waters that come from the melting snow of the Andes irrigate the valley. The surrounding desert and the persisting southwest winds also provide a naturally protected environment. With over a century of experience across five generations, the winery continues to employ artisan wisdom with the most modern winemaking techniques, which is reflected in the elegance of their wines.
