Welcome to Argentina’s remote Patagonia region.
Here at the edge of the Earth, extremely harsh conditions force vines to produce tiny, thick-skinned Malbec grapes. The resulting wine delivers serious color and flavor in the glass. Your delicious example from International Wine Challenge Winemaker of the Year 2018 Hervé Fabre has a long history of very high ratings from customers and critics alike...
Judges at the Argentina Wine Awards rated the previous vintage of Hervé’s Malbec 94 points. It also scored two 92-point ratings from Master of Wine Tim Atkin and International Wine Challenge judges, who raved: “Packed with plum, toast and mocha. Beautiful body and long finish. Crowd pleasing but genuine with richness and freshness.”
Hailing from the excellent 2019 vintage, the new release is every bit as delicious. The finish on this barrel-aged beauty is smooth, chocolatey and a mile long. It’s made for a juicy steak (but also great with mature cheeses and Hervé’s favorite: bittersweet chocolate cake).
Malbec fans, this one’s for you. Non-Malbec fans? This one’s for you, too. (Trust us. It’s that good.)
