Description
Los Haroldos Estate Malbec, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina, 2023
Grape: 100% Malbec, vineyards at 1100 m.a.s.l, aged 6 months in American oak barriques
Producer Tasting Note:
Ripe red fruits, smoke and chocolate all show on the forward and intense nose. The palate has elegant tannins and subtle acidity that all underpin the brambly fruit, sweet smoke and hint of meatiness.
Critic's Tasting Note:
"A racy, blue-fruited malbec with notes of chocolate, spices and wet stone. Medium-bodied, juicy and dense with a chalky texture to its tannins and moderate length. Drink now."
James Suckling, January 2024
"Toasty nose with aromas of red fruits, cedar and floral undertones. Rounded on the palate, with generous and delicious fruit."
90/100 points (Silver), Decanter World Wine Awards, January 2025
This winery is owned by ‘Familia Falasco’ who have over 40 years’ experience producing fine wines and are a top 5 leading Argentine producer located in San Martin (in the east of Mendoza)
Los Haroldos owns 3,000 hectares of vineyards in many of the prime locations, including vineyards in premier sub-region ‘La Consulta’ in the ‘Uco Valley’ which is 1,100 metres above sea level and offers a perfect micro-climate for producing fresh fruit driven wines.
Food Match: The smoky elements of this wine will work beautifully with the natural flavours of barbecue (especially wood fired) whilst the deep fruit and secondary characters will compliment red meat very well
