WINE DESCRIPTION
Maipe Malbec Reserve is a premium wine produced by Maipe Winery, located in the Mendoza region of Argentina. The grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, which provide ideal growing conditions for Malbec. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a deep ruby color with aromas of blackberry, plum, and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, and a long, smooth finish. Maipe Malbec Reserve is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the rich, complex flavors of a well-crafted Malbec.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This full-bodied Maipe Malbec Reserve is a classic example of Argentina's terroir.Aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and baking spice mingle with hints of licorice and dark chocolate. The palate is rich and smooth, with a velvety texture and a long finish. Balanced tannins provide structure and complexity, while juicy acidity keeps the flavor profile lively. Enjoy with grilled meats, sharp cheeses, or a hearty stew.

ORIGINS
Winery: Maipe
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
