Achaval-Ferrer Finca Mirador Malbec - Mendoza - Red - 2015 :

 

The Iconic Finca Mirador Malbec: An Argentine Grand Cru

Representing the pinnacle of Argentine winemaking, the ACHAVAL FERRER FINCA MIRADOR is a revered single-vineyard Malbec from the prestigious Achaval Ferrer estate. The Finca Mirador vineyard, planted with ancient, low-yielding Malbec in 1921, lies in the warm, sandy soils of Medrano. This environment forces the vines to struggle, resulting in grapes of extraordinary concentration and depth-a true expression of Argentine 'terroir'.

Sommelier's Notes

• Appearance: A profound, opaque purple.
• Aroma: Highly aromatic, offering an intense core of black plum and cherry jam, interwoven with exotic spice, cedar, and a touch of eucalyptus.
• Taste: Muscular, full-bodied, and beautifully structured. The palate delivers a rush of dark fruit and fig, grounded by silky, integrated tannins and a fresh acidity that ensures a long, complex finish. This Malbec is both powerful and precise.

Food Pairing & Decanting

This wine is built for the cellar, but when opening young, ensure a minimum of an hour's decanting to soften the structure. Serve with traditional British game or a hearty roast for an exquisite match.
