Belasco de Baquedano ‘AR Guentota’ Malbec

From the home of Malbec in Argentina, this full-bodied but soft tannin red has an intense bouquet of red and black fruit notes with stewed black fruits and hints of balsamic and a little bit of vanilla flavour on the palette. Subtle notes of smoke and roasted coffee beans round out the well balanced and elegant finish.

Belasco de Baquedano is a leading winery located in the Mendoza region of Argentina. The winery is lucky enough to have very old vines of original Malbec first planted in 1910 – these old vines are the secret to Belasco De Baquedano’s success. The old vines consistently produce wines that are full-bodied, juicy and complex with layers of flavour development. The vineyards soar up to 3,346 feet, where the conditions are excellent to produce elegant yet powerful premium wines. Warm days are offset by cool nights with as much as a 45°F diurnal swing, which produces aroma and flavor, while holding acidity. This wine has soft, fine tannins but pack enough flavour to stand up to hearty foods like leg of lamb, Mexican food, or anything cooked over a wood BBQ!
