Mendoza
Altitude, sunshine and cool nights shape expressive red wines.
To get started
Compare Malbec from different sites or altitudes and look for the balance of ripe fruit and freshness.
Key grapes
Malbec — Deep colour, plum and a plush texture. Deep colour does not always mean harsh tannins: check freshness and texture, especially across sites of different altitude.
Compare regions
Compare regions in the same country too: the same grape can produce different wines as climate, site and producer choices change.
Style descriptions are guides, not rules: vintage, vineyard, blending and maturation change the result.
