Tomero Malbec 2016

Tomero Malbec is one of the best examples I have come across of Argentina’s national wine. Made by legendary producer Carlos Pulenta of Bodega Vistalba with its low acid, lush fruitiness and spice notes this wine is simply stunning. For optimal enjoyment serve with the biggest juiciest steak you can lay your hands on. This was the first wine Exclusive Vines bought to Australia and to this day remains a favourite of ours and close friends.

When to drink: up until 2020. Style: rich textured and full bodied.

Varieties: 100% Malbec Colour: Intense violet red color. Nose: Elegant aromas of fresh plums, dried figs and vanilla. Palate: Sweet entrance, with good structure and a long enjoyable finish. A wonderful butterscotch and touch of spice is totally integrated by the subtle notes of vanilla that comes from the oak aging.
