Domaine Bousquet Gran Malbec – Mendoza, Tupungato – Red – 2024:

 

Domaine Bousquet Gran Malbec: Gualtallary’s Organic Masterpiece

The Gran Malbec from Domaine Bousquet stands as a testament to premium, organic viticulture in Argentina. Hailing from the elevated Gualtallary sub-region of Mendoza’s Uco Valley, this distinguished red wine masterfully combines intense fruit concentration with a refined, elegant structure. Matured in French oak, this vintage achieves a smooth, velvety richness that is truly exceptional.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: A deep, intense purple, indicative of a concentrated, high-quality Malbec.
• Nose: Complex aromas of dark stone fruits (damson, plum, blackberry) layered with subtle spice, chocolate, and vanilla notes imparted by the French oak.
• Palate: Full and structured, delivering powerful fruit flavours supported by refined, velvety tannins. The refreshing high-altitude acidity keeps the wine balanced, leading to a long, beautifully spiced finish.

Serving Suggestions

This is a serious wine for serious food. Decant for an hour and serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F). It pairs splendidly with classic British roasts and slow-cooked meats.
