A very fresh and lively malbec that shows subtle spices, herbs, fresh blueberries and cherries. Pristine, fresh and vibrant on the palate with fresh, soft tannins and a solid, fruit-expressive finish. 70% valle de uco and 30% agrelo. Already appealing, with lots of fruit. Drink now.

The 2022 Malbec Don Nicanor is 70% made up of grapes from the Uco Valley and 30% from Luján de Cuyo. Purple in the glass. Crushed plum, violet and white pepper aromas appear against an oaky backdrop. Indulgent with plush tannins on the palate, the wine's balanced acidity contributes to a juicy and subtly tart finish. This is a Mendoza Malbec with an Uco core.

Plum and cherry charm with ripe, dark fruit and earthy spice notes. Juicy, harmonious, with supple freshness. A delightful, albeit straightforward, expression of youthful, fruity allure.

The 2022 Don Nicanor Malbec is a tremendous value, opening with a balanced bouquet of dark fruit, crushed stones and a touch of woody complexity. The palate is similarly svelte and creamy, concluding with a solid, grippy finish driven by an even-keeled minerality.
