Animal Malbec Organic

Animal Organic Malbec is produced from grapes carefully cultivated in different vineyards located in Agrelo, Altamira, Tupungato, and La Consulta, in the province of Mendoza, Argentina. This wine represents the quest for a genuine connection with Nature and care for the Earth, merging sustainability and organic production with a fresh, modern profile.

• Agrelo contributes an intense color, almost black with violet reflections, and good structure on the palate.
• Altamira provides aromatic depth, dominated by black fruit and plum jam.
• Tupungato adds freshness and friendly tannins, resulting in a delicate yet fleshy mouthfeel.
• La Consulta brings complexity with spicy nuances and an elegant oak integration, revealing notes of vanilla and chocolate.

These four elements combine exceptionally to deliver a balanced wine, with a sweet, persistent entry that invites continued enjoyment. Ideal for pairing with a traditional Argentine asado, red meat cuts, or dishes that accentuate its fruity and spicy character.
