Description

High-altitude fruit from Argentina's north gives this Malbec its stamp. Grown in the Cafayate Valley within Salta's Calchaquí region, it comes from Bodega El Esteco under their Don David label, a Reserve bottling of the 2024 vintage. A good portion of the wine spends around a year in barrel, which rounds out the naturally dark, sun-driven character that Salta Malbec tends to carry.

Expect a ripe, generous nose that leans toward dark fruit, with a savory-sweet edge suggesting chutney and soft marmalade. On the palate it's broad and indulgent, with moderate concentration and a balsamic note pulling through the finish. This is Malbec in its fuller, plusher register, easy to enjoy without demanding much of you.

The 2023 Malbec Reserva Don David from the Calchaquí Valleys contains 70% that was aged for 12 months in barrels. The nose is ripe with chutney, soft marmalade and dark fruit. The 2023 is broad and indulgent in the mouth with moderate concentration and a balsamic finish.
