The 2024 Turno de Noche Malbec is a classic high-altitude Mendoza Malbec sourced from vineyards near Agrelo, where elevations of over 1,000 metres encourage slow ripening and exceptional fruit purity. Fermented in stainless steel before resting in a combination of tank and oak, the wine preserves the vibrant character of the fruit while adding subtle complexity. The nose is rich and inviting, offering blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum layered with the signature violet perfume of Argentine Malbec, gentle spice and a hint of mocha.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with soft, velvety tannins and bright natural acidity. Juicy dark berry fruit is complemented by notes of cocoa, black pepper and a touch of vanilla, leading to a long, smooth finish with impressive balance and freshness. Generous yet approachable, it is a superb expression of Mendoza Malbec that offers excellent value and immediate appeal.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Turno de Noche Malbec pairs beautifully with grilled steak, slow-cooked beef, lamb cutlets, smoky barbecue dishes or mature cheddar. Enjoy now through 2030 while its vibrant fruit, supple texture and savoury spice are at their best.
