Estampilla Malbec 2007

Made from premium Malbec grapes grown high in the hills of the Famantina Valley, this stunning red is one of the best value wines around. The name Estampilla refers to the stamp of approval that chief winemaker Rodolfo Griguol has given this sumptuous gem. Assisted by his 85-year old father, Rodolfo makes great value reds packed with ripe berry flavours.

And 2007 looks to be the best vintage yet! A hotter-than-usual Summer provided a bumper crop of extra-ripe grapes - perfect for making flavour-rich wines packed with concentration. Few would deny that this ancient Bordeaux variety has proved to be Argentina's secret weapon, "producing distinguished wines with real international appeal ... sturdy, full-bodied and in the right hands produces wines with chocolaty polish and class" (The Times).

Deep red in colour with smoky, clove spice aromas drift up from the glass whilst the mouthfilling palate has plenty of ripe berry fruits, smooth tannins and a lovely fresh minty finish. A perfect partner for rich winter stews and roasted vegetables.
