Recoleta Malbec 2019
A couple of things:
First, it's made by Mauricio Lorca, which is always a good start! Second, the fruit is all from Mauricio's own high altitude vineyards in Vista Flores in the Uco Valley, and the wine is bottled at source at his winery in Mendoza.
A lot of 'cheap' Malbec is sourced from the East of Mendoza at lower altitude and in the often scorching heat; a great source of, well, cheap wine that sometimes lacks definition and finesse.
Dark, aromatic, fresh and juicy; a real crowd-pleaser. Finish is nutty, milk chocolate texture - with a savoury twist
