Crafted to highlight the varietal's rich fruit flavors and smooth tannins, Conquista Malbec represents the essence of Argentine winemaking tradition. The grapes are sourced from select vineyards in Mendoza, where high altitude and sunny days contribute to optimal ripening conditions.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Conquista Malbec offers enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, complemented by hints of violet and spice.On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with flavors of dark fruit, cocoa, and a touch of vanilla from oak aging. The wine's plush texture and well-integrated tannins lead to a smooth and velvety finish. This Malbec pairs wonderfully with grilled meats such as steak or lamb chops, barbecue ribs, and spicy dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Conquista

Region: Mendoza

Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography. Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.
