A very dense and mineral malbec from Gualtallary that has abundant chalky tannins. Dense and structured with blueberries, stones, graphite, cigar box and a hint of dark chocolate and balsamic fruit. Full-bodied, muscular but fully resolved, with a great, lengthy finish that lasts over 30 seconds. The absence of mid-palate fleshiness makes it more attractively austere. Better from 2025.
The purple Malbec variety grapes which now grow all over the Old and New Worlds had their origins in France, where they are one of the few grape varieties allowed to be used in the highly esteemed blended wines of Bordeaux. However, it is perhaps the New World Malbec wines which have attracted the most attention in recent years, as they thrive in hot southern climates in ways they cannot in their native country, where the damp conditions leave them highly vulnerable to rot. Malbec grapes are renowned for their high tannin content, resulting in full-bodied red wines packed with ripe, plummy flavors and held in their characteristically dark, garnet colored liquid. In many countries, Malbec is still used primarily as a varietal for blending, as it adds a great level of richness and density to other, lighter and thinner varietals. However, single variety Malbec wines have been greatly on the rise in recent years, with some fantastic results and big, juicy flavors marking them out as a great wine for matching with a wide range of foods.

From Paraie Altamira, Gualtallary and Vista Flores, the 2018 Malbec Bressano was aged for 18 months in French barrels, 4/5 of them new. The liqueur-like nose offers notes of cigar box with dark and red fruit ranging from blackberry to sour cherry alongside jarilla and faint floral aromas. The palate is full of gentle, refined, grippy tannins, mild freshness and a contained power in which the flavors linger at length.
