WINE DESCRIPTION
Familia Mayol Finca Montuiri Malbec is a distinguished Argentine wine, epitomizing Mendoza's winemaking prowess. Crafted exclusively from Malbec grapes sourced from the historic Finca Montuiri vineyard in Luján de Cuyo, this wine showcases the essence of its terroir. The vineyard boasts old vines, planted in 1926 on their own rootstock, naturally yielding limited quantities of fruit, ensuring exceptional concentration and complexity. Meticulous vineyard selection and canopy management further enhance quality. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and undergoing long maceration on the skins, the wine is then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, resulting in a beautifully balanced expression of Malbec, with rich fruit, velvety tannins, and a touch of oak influence.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This full-bodied Familia Mayol Finca Montuiri Malbec is an impressive red, offering intense aromas of ripe plum, blackberry and dark cherry, along with notes of licorice, mocha, graphite, and a slight hint of leather.On the palate, it is intense and concentrated, with a round texture and well-integrated tannins, a long and lingering finish. An excellent expression of Malbec from one of Spain's top wineries.

ORIGINS
Winery: Familia Mayol
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.CUSTOMER RATING
