Description

Animal Organic Malbec is a Malbec crafted from carefully grown grapes sourced from several key vineyards in Agrelo, Altamira, Tupungato, and La Consulta, in Mendoza, Argentina. This wine embodies a genuine connection with Nature and respect for the land, combining sustainability and certified organic production with a fresh, modern profile.

• Agrelo contributes deep color—nearly black with violet hues—and firm structure on the palate.
• Altamira adds aromatic depth, dominated by black fruits and plum jam notes.
• Tupungato brings freshness and gentle tannins, resulting in a delicate yet fleshy mouthfeel.
• La Consulta enhances complexity with spicy nuances and an elegant integration of oak, revealing hints of vanilla and chocolate.

These four components come together seamlessly to create a balanced wine with a sweet, persistent attack that invites another sip. Ideal to pair with a classic Argentine asado, red meat cuts, or dishes that highlight its fruity and spicy character.
