Region: Argentina, Mendoza, Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo
Grape variety: Malbec
Winemaking process: Hand-harvested. Fermentation at a maximum temperature of 82°F-86°F (28°C-30°C). Maceration lasted approximately 15 days.
Tasting notes: The perfect wine with steak - bursting with black fruits and fine "leathery" tannins. A Malbec of a soft texture, great body and silky tannins. On the nose, it displays aromas of red berries and a subtle hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is pleasant and it has a very good structure.
Classic, juicy, full-bodied Malbec with aromas of ripe rasberry, blackcurrant and gentle vanilla; smooth and succulent in the mouth with masses of dark fruit flavours and velvety tannins.
Food pairing: Grilled meats, pasta with red sauce, strong cheeses.

SBBMM
Region: Argentina, Mendoza, Valle de Uco
Grape variety: Malbec
Background: Vista Flores, is an extraordinary Terroir. Its sandy loam and rocky soils guarantee good permeability, limits plant growth and assures perfect ripeness. BenMarco Malbec is testament to Uco Valley where it hails from, proffering a bouquet of fresh black fruit, floral notes of violets, with bright acidity, firm tannins and great length. The fruit is 100% Uco Valley, Vista Flores to be precise, and the wine is made in a big, brassy style with bags of juicy dark fruit; firm, well balanced tannins and fantastic length. In recent times the BenMarco project has been overseen by the amazing talent that is Edy del Popolo, now General Manager at Susana Balbo Wines and a very famous oenologist/winemaker in his own right. It's great to see that BenMarco is in such good hands.
Tasting notes: This wine is endowed with aromas of black berries, notes of violets, pronounced acidity, firm tannins and great length.
