Luigi Bosca La Linda Malbec 2020
$19.99
Finca La Linda Malbec is an intense purple colour red wine with distinct aromas of cherries and spices, very typical from this variety. It is perceived in the mouth with a marked fruit intensity and a smooth texture that envelopes the palate. Balanced and matured tannins are perceived as a result of the three-month ageing in French and American oak casks. This varietal shows great typicity and modern profile, velvety, elegant, with a good structure and volume.

Luigi Bosca was established in 1901 by the Arizu family who still own and operate the winery today. In 1989 the family played a large part in creating Argentina’s first DOC “Lujan de Cuyo”. In all, the family have around 400 hectares of vines in the Lujan de Cuyo and Maipu regions of Mendoza with a number of spectacular Estancias. While this is a heritage winery, being family owned the winery is really progressive, constantly travelling to explore different regions and new wine styles. Luigi Bosca has been one of the first wineries to adopt a modern style of Malbec with their La Linda wines with early picks, lower alcohols, minimal oak and less extraction.
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.
