Nina Gran Malbec emerges as a quintessential expression of the Malbec grape, a varietal that has become synonymous with the sun-drenched vineyards of Argentina. This particular iteration is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, harnessing the unique terroir of Mendoza where altitude plays as much a role in shaping its character as the soil and climate.
On approaching Nina Gran Malbec, one is immediately struck by its deep violet hue, an inviting prelude to the complexity held within. The nose is greeted with an aromatic bouquet brimming with ripe black fruits—think plums and blackberries—that meld seamlessly with subtler undertones of vanilla and tobacco, courtesy of judicious aging in oak barrels.
The palate experience is one of balance and depth. The robust tannins are well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the lush fruit profile that Malbec enthusiasts have come to cherish. Notes of dark chocolate and a hint of spice contribute to a long finish that lingers pleasantly, inviting contemplation.
