Flechas de Los Andes Aguaribay Malbec, 2023, Mendoza, Argentina
Located at the foot of the Andes Mountains in the Mendoza region of Argentina, Bodega Flechas de Los Andes enjoys an unrivalled setting and a unique terroir thanks to a dry climate, tempered by high altitudes. These qualities appealed to Benjamin de Rothschild and Laurent Dassault, both of whom were looking for a first‑class terroir. Here, Malbec, a traditional Argentine grape variety, has found an ideal place to thrive. Aguaribay Malbec is produced from a 100ha vineyard and named after the tree that grows in and protects the vineyard, the Aguaribay Malbec completes a trio of three wines created from this vineyard, and represents a single varietal blend of Malbec.
The nose offers ripe blackberry with chocolate shavings and black pepper. The palate is rich and fruit-forward with bags of creamy cassis, blackberry, spice, and black tea on the finish. This approachable style of Malbec shows very well straight from the bottle with supple tannins and a juicy core of fruit.
