WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Intense ruby red with violet reflections. Aromas of red and black fruits with notes of sweet spices. On the palate it has concentration, sweet tannins, and a long finish.
TASTING NOTES:
A tight and beautiful wine with sliced berries, chocolate, hazelnut, and bitter chocolate. Medium body. Medium chewy fruit and a chocolate, walnut and stone finish. Needs time to open.

The 2021 Malbec Bramare Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, with 22% of them being new. Purple in color, this complex wine presents cedar and plum notes, accompanied by menthol and white pepper hints. Dry, plush and bold, the generous palate flows smoothly with a creamy texture, leading to a lasting fruit finish. It’s rich red with the muscular yet supple mouthfeel characteristic of Luján de Cuyo.

The winery was founded by Paul Hobbs in 1998. The winemaker and his local team focus on Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, two grapes that love Mendoza's terroir. This is a balanced Malbec, with notes of raspberry and oak-driven aromas. It delivers flavors of cherry jam, mulberry, herbs and vanilla bean. Excellent acidity infuses energy to the palate, as round tannins provide support.
