If you are looking for a winery that produces wines that are a true representation of the Argentinian culture and lifestyle, Tilia Wines is the right choice for you. The vineyards are located in the eastern and southern regions of Mendoza, Argentina. The warm days and the cool, desert climate during the night are ideal for the cultivation of grapes in this region. Also, the vineyards are located at a height of 4000 feet above sea level, which helps in improving the quality of grapes produced here.
The wines are produced at the classic Bodegas Esmeralda winery, which was set up to represent the lifestyle of the local farmers and labourers of Argentina. The highly reputed wine maker from Catena, Leopolodo Kushnaroff, is the brain behind the wines produced by the Tilia brand. The word Tilia is from the Latin language. It refers to the traditional Argentinian Linden tree that is found all over Mendoza.
Malbec Wine
View all products
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.
