Malbec at its best. Full and marked with the aroma of dark chocolate and cherries with a long and endless aftertaste. La Mascota is a limited edition wine Santa Ana produces from only the oldest vineyards.
Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"This lovely Malbec boasts an instense purple red colour in the glass with ruby hues. The bouquet is filled with aromas of black fruits, jam and vanilla, with a subtle licorice touch. Sweet attack and full bodied tannins with a long and pleasant finish."

"La Mascota 2020 Malbec is produced from sustainably-grown grapes and is a great value Argentinean Malbec. Love the texture and layers of juicy, ripe plum, blackberry, black cherry, dark chocolate, roasted herbs, smoky vanilla and toasty oak spice flavours on this fresh, smooth and medium-plus-bodied Malbec. Finishes with a mouthful of dark berry fruit and on a citrus note."

91/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2021 (2019 Vintage)
"Dark purple core and hues with a dark fruit aromas to match. Dark plums and chocolate, blue fruit and baking spice scents of toasty wood. Youthful, fruity and alluring. Dry, weighty, a core of fruit, fresh and lively with fine through moderate tannins, contrasting acid line and fleshy dark fruit flavours. Balanced and well made, dry and ready. Best drinking from today and through 2024."
4 Stars Michael Cooper (2017 Vintage)
"This impressively dark, easy-drinking Argentinian red was aged for a year in American and French oak casks. Weighty (14% alc/vol), rich and vibrantly fruity, it has ripe berry, plum, spice and liquorice flavours."
