2023 Montes Alpha Malbec

The typical Argentinian grape Malbec has crossed the border to Chile. The result of this Montes Alpha Malbec is impressive. Intense ruby red in colour. The aroma is complex with red fruit, violets, vanilla and some oak. Accompanied by some spiciness from black and red peppers. The taste is robust, powerful, but at the same time elegant. A special wine with tension and balance.

Malbec goes perfectly with, how could it be otherwise, typical South American meat dishes. Grilling, roasting, smoking. Feel free to serve a barbecue sauce with it. Pork, chicken, beef. Spiced and peppery, this wine can handle it all. It is also delicious on a long summer evening or by a crackling fire.

FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will also receive a nice discount. We are almost next to the Rijksweg with plenty of parking. Click here for address.
