LOS HAROLDOS ESTATE MALBEC 2020

Bodega Los Haroldos is a leading Argentinian winery with a unique history; its founder Haroldo began selling wine from a barrel atop his bicycle as a young man in 1939 and the winery is now run by the third and fourth generation of the same family.

Far from your run of the mill Malbec, this offers a big step up from other Malbecs found around this price point. With cooler weather around the corner, this will be just the tickets to enjoy with hearty rich casseroles, red meat, bean and mushroom based stews and blue cheese.

Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Our family has its roots in the wine industry, with more than 80 years of experience. Our grapes come from different soils, climates and regions of Mendoza; among cold winters and dry, hot summers with cool nights. These conditions and the rich soils irrigated by meltwater from the Andes mountains make it possible to obtain excellent quality, both in young and aged wines.

Pronounced aromas of ripe red and black fruits, with notes of its oak ageing. Soft mounthfeel and sweet tannins typical of this Argentine variety. Good body with long, elegant finish. The wine was aged in barrels (50% American oak and 50% French oak) for 6 months."

92/100 International Wine Challenge (2020 Vintage)
"Rich and plush with hints of red berry fruit and tobacco leaf on the nose. A real joy to drink."
