The Highest Point Malbec, Mendoza

£12.25 per bottle
In Stock & Ready To Ship!

The Highest Point Malbec is a proper, no nonsense red from Argentina, previously known as Punto Alto Malbec. The name may have changed, but what is in the bottle has not. It is still made from high altitude vineyards where bright sunshine and cool nights help Malbec deliver generous flavour and natural balance.

In the glass it is deep, dark and inviting, with aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and black cherry. On the palate you get everything you expect from a well made Argentine Malbec. Plush dark fruit, a touch of cocoa, gentle spice and soft, rounded tannins that make it easy to enjoy from the first glass to the last.

This is a bold but smooth Malbec that does exactly what it says on the tin. Honest, well judged and very drinkable. If you enjoyed Punto Alto Malbec in the past, you can buy with confidence. This is the same dependable wine, just under its English name.

Food pairing

A natural match for steak, beef burgers, slow cooked beef chilli or lamb chops. Also excellent with mushroom dishes and hard cheeses such as mature Cheddar or Comté.

Argentina

In 1556 fr Juan Cedrón established the first Argentinian vineyards in Mendoza using cuttings from the Chilean Central Valley. Argentina is now the worlds fifth largest wine producer. The many different grapes reflect the country's immigrant groups: the French brought Malbec, the Italians brought Bonarda and Torrontés is typically Argentinian found in the provinces of La Rioja, San Juan, and Salta.

Malbec

Malbec is a tale of two worlds - the old and the new. Malbec has become synonomous with Argentinia where the high altitude vineyards produce delicate, floral Malbec.

Yet, as with many things vinous, the grape came from France (where it was known as Côt or Auxxerois). Used in blends, including in Bordeaux, it's best known French expression is in Cahors.

    Bought the wines for Christmas so can't rate them just yet, although have had this wine at a restaurant recently and it was lovely
