Salentein Pyros Appellation Malbec 2021 – Valle de Uco
If you’re chasing Malbec with altitude and attitude, look no further than the Salentein Pyros Appellation Malbec 2021. From the stony slopes of Argentina’s Valle de Uco, this wine takes Malbec beyond plush fruit, layering it with spice, minerality, and freshness.
The high-altitude vineyards give the fruit intensity and lift, while careful ageing brings polish and complexity. This isn’t just big and bold, it’s structured, elegant, and brimming with character.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Blackberry, plum, and blueberry with violet, cracked pepper, and a touch of smoke.
Palate: Concentrated dark fruit, cocoa, and savoury spice, balanced by bright acidity and firm but smooth tannins.
Finish: Long, layered, and mineral-driven with lingering black fruit and spice.
Pair with grilled ribeye, lamb chops, or rich stews. A superb example of Argentina’s modern Malbec, bold but beautifully refined.
A rich Argentine Malbec with dark fruit, spice, and minerality from Valle de Uco. Bold yet refined.
