Desierto Pampa Malbec 2015

In 2001, a team of Argentine entrepreneurs with a budding interest in wine was just crazy enough to see the raw and untapped potential in the soil of the Alto Valle del Rio Colorado region, located in the northern part of Patagonia.
Together, they would go onto set up shop in a small town named 25 de Mayo, in the province of La Pampa. After listening to and learning from this unique and challenging landscape, the first stages of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, and Chardonnay vines were planted. In 2003 Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier varietals were added, bringing the vineyard’s scale to a full 140 hectares.
Bodega del Desierto loves surprising people and has been proudly exceeding presumptions on Patagonian desert viticulture ever since the release of their first group of wines back in 2004.

Malbec is a red wine grape variety that is originally from France. It is now primarily grown in Argentina, where it has become one of the country's most successful and recognizable exports. The grape produces a deep purple wine with dark fruit flavors, such as blackberry and plum, along with notes of spice and tobacco.

Malbec wines tend to be full-bodied with moderate acidity and medium to high tannins. They are often aged in oak barrels to give them a smooth, round texture and subtle vanilla or toast flavors. Malbec pairs well with red meats, particularly beef, and hearty, flavorful cheeses.
