2023 Manos Negras Malbec

Alejandro Sejanovich is arguably Argentina’s most knowledgeable viticulturist.He pioneered high-altitude vineyard planting and conducted ground-breaking research into Mendoza’s Malbec clones. With Manos Negras, Alejandro combines his love of minerality and altitude with a magical touch in the winery to produce some of the region’s most terroir-driven wines. 

Malbec is the undisputed signature grape from Argentina. The high altitude desert oasis of Mendoza has provided the ideal conditions for this once minor French blending grape to unfurl its strengths unlike anywhere else in the world. Fermented at temperatures below 24º C for 12 days, with a 28 day maceration, before ageing in French oak.

Tasting Note: A deep blackish colour and dark fruit flavours while the cool mountain nights produce violet aromas and a soft, supple texture.

Food match: Leaner red meats, and even lighter cuts like dark meat turkey or roast pork.
