Product Overview
El Camino Mendoza Malbec 2022 is a vibrant and well-balanced red wine, showcasing the distinctive qualities of Argentina's renowned Mendoza region. Made exclusively from 100% Malbec grapes, this wine delivers a beautifully smooth, fruity profile complemented by a subtle smoky finish.
Tasting Notes:
The wine opens with rich aromas of plum jam, which seamlessly transitions into a fresh, juicy palate filled with bold, spicy black plum flavours. A delicate hint of vanilla rounds off the experience, adding a touch of elegance to its overall character. Its dry finish and balanced acidity make it an easy-drinking, perfumed Malbec suitable for various occasions.
Vineyard & Winemaking
The 2022 vintage benefits from a cool, dry spring, followed by a rainy February that extended the ripening period. The cooler days with cloud cover in Mendoza allowed for a prolonged growing season, contributing to the wine’s freshness and fruit expression. By March, rising temperatures ensured that the grapes reached perfect maturity, delivering wines with good acidity and bright fruit flavours.
Perfect Pairing:
Enjoy this delightful Malbec with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a charcuterie board for a harmonious pairing experience.

The grapes were destemmed after harvesting to obtain a fruity expression from the grapes. After pressing, 60% of the juice underwent temperature-controlled maceration to extract flavour and colour and impart structure to the wine. The remaining 40% of the juice was fermented immediately between 20 to 25°C, imparting the wine vibrancy and freshness. After the alcoholic fermentation and malolactic conversions, the wine was centrifuged, clarified, and filtered before bottling.
A perfumed, easy-drinking Malbec with spicy, black plum fruit flavours integrated into an inviting vanilla background.

| Winery | The vineyards are located around Costa de Araujo, northeast of Mendoza. The climate is semi-desert, with low annual rainfall. The area is influenced by its proximity to the Andes Mountains, where the melted snow flows through irrigation channels to nourish the vines during the hot summer months. The strong wind, known locally as the Zonda, usually occurs during May and November and brings warmer temperatures, often followed by cooler ones, requiring vigilance in the vineyard. The soils are mainly clay, which has good water retention properties and is ideal for this warm climate. El Camino - the King's Highway - threads mythically through the foothills of the majestic Andes among vineyards famed for the purity of their growing conditions. Combining these superb vineyard sites, the dedication and expertise of the local viticulturists and winemakers and a touch of European know-how results in wines of real intensity. |
