Finca Los Primos Malbec 2011 San Rafael
Producer: Valentin Bianchi
Tasting Notes:
The classic Malbec aromas of ripe plums, tobacco and violets are evident on the nose, with hints of vanilla. The beauty of the Malbec in Argentina is its ability to combine a rich, weighty mouth feel with a soft silkiness normally associated with lighter wines. This wine has good balance and a long finish.
Grape Variety: 100% Malbec
ABV: 14%
Country/Region: Argentina
Vintage: 2011
The Bianchi family winery was founded in 1928 by Italian immigrant
Valentin Bianchi. It now covers 350 hectares of vineyard, situated 750
metres above sea level in San Rafael, about 240km south of Mendoza
city. This is a cooler area than Mendozaís major vineyard areas of
Lujn de Cuyo and Agrelo because it is further south, which helps the
flavours and perfumes develop more gradually, resulting in more
aromatic wines. The estate is now run by the third generation of the
family, and has undergone a gradual transformation in the past few
years, modernising both the winery and the
vinification
processes. Finca Los Primos comprises a range of excellent value,
single varietals. Famiglia Bianchi, Particular and Enzo are each a step
up in concentration and depth of fruit, from older and lower-yielding
vineyards.
