Alamos Malbek
The grape variety used to make this wine is Malbec. It makes big, rich and dark wines. The flavours and aromas are plums, dark chocolate and blackberries with some spice and pepper as well.
Malbec comes into its own in Argentina and this wine is a fantastic example of its lovely blackcurrant flavours with a good pinch of peppery spice.

Intense
For people who enjoy big, bold wines that really pack a punch. For many who enjoy similar wines it’s a case of the bigger the better!
The philosophy behind the Alamos range is to make flavourful, drinkable wines that preserve each varietals distinctive aroma, flavour and texture. Some of the Alamos wines acquire additional complexity from moderate oak ageing.
Grapes for Alamos wines are sourced from mountain vineyard sites in the premier regions of Lujan de Cuyo and Valle de Uco at elevations of 3000 to 5000 feet. The altitude means more intense sunlight which enhances the aromatics of Malbec and creates thicker skins, leading to richer, more intense wines. Half of the grapes come from young vines in the Catena family estate vineyards and the other half are purchased from growers who are closely managed by Alamos’ vineyards managers.
