Creamier wines with balanced fruit, alcohol, acidity, and body. The "yummy" section.
An approachable and fruit-forward red wine that captures the essence of Argentine Malbec crafted by renowned winemaker Susana Balbo. With ripe blackberry, plum, and cherry flavors, this wine has subtle hints of spice, violets, and a touch of oak. The tannins are soft, giving it a smooth, velvety texture. With bright acidity and a balanced finish, it's perfect for pairing with grilled meats or simply enjoying it.
About The Varietal
The dark and inky black-blue grape variety, Malbec, originates from Cahors in South West France. However, due to its remarkable success, particularly in the vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina, Malbec has transitioned from relative obscurity to achieving international recognition. It is now primarily renowned as the iconic wine grape of Argentina.
Enjoy with red meat, stews, or Indian spices.
About The Producer
Once recognized as one of Argentina's top female winemakers, Susana Balbo originally aspired to pursue nuclear physics. However, her parents deemed it an "unconventional choice, " preventing her from leaving Mendoza. Instead, she joined the family’s winemaking business and, in 1981, became the first woman in Argentina to earn a degree in enology. She then dedicated herself to studying the Torrontes grape at Michel Torino Winery and consulting for wineries across South America, Europe, and Australia. 1999 she established Susana Balbo Wines in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Today, her son José, a UC Davis graduate, and daughter Ana, a University of San Andrés graduate, work alongside her. In 2018, she was named one of "The 10 Most Influential Women in the Wine World" by The Drinks Business magazine.
