The range of complexities found within this wine are a clear indicator of diverse terroir. Without these variables, this wine, just simply put, wouldn’t be as interesting. I’m just loving the fact that this Malbec is all about the terroir! Food Pairing Produced in the moderate-climate Uco Valley at about 1,000m altitude, the vineyards benefit from plenty of sunlight and cool nights. With mixed berry fruits and capisicum and mint notes, the wine shows coconut and tobacco wood bolstered by grainy tannins and lively acidity. Full-bodied and warm on the palate with good flavour definition and length. Drinking well now, but no real hurry, this wine would suit succulent pig or even wild boar. (Patricia Stefanowicz)

This bottle of Don David Blend of Terroirs Malbec is made using grapes from two different altitudes within Argentina’s Calchaquí Valley, which is high-altitude region located in the northwestern Salta Province. When grown at higher elevations, Malbec develops incredible complexities and elegant nuances, as noted when I tasted Bodega Colomé’s Malbec wines which are from the same region. The fact that this Malbec is a blend of two different terroirs, simply enables the winemaker to add more depth to the wine. Eager to get tasting, I popped the corked and poured myself a glass! Pähkinät ja mantelit ovat klassinen lisuke juustolle ja viinille. Tarjoa ne sellaisenaan tai paahda uunissa niihin kaunis väri ennen tarjoilua.

Terroir is basically the countless variables that contribute to a wine’s sense of place. Everything from the soil-type, seasonal rainfall, slope, aspect, climate, micro-climate, degree growing days, clonal grapevine selection etc…are all factors that directly affect the grapes which in turn directly impact the final wine. Terroir is the ‘je ne sais quoi’ of the wine world because it embodies everything that can’t quite be easily quantified, simply explained or definitively conclusive when describing a wine.Grape variety: 50% Malbec, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Petit Verdot and Merlot

Don David Reserve Malbec 2018, Salta - Majestic Wine

Jos tarjoat vain yhtä viiniä, valitse tyyliltään samanlaisia juustoja. Don David Malbec Reserve 2018 -viinin kanssa sopivat erityisen hyvin erilaiset kovat, kypsytetyt ja suolaiset juustot. Leikkaa juustot erimallisiksi suupaloiksi tarjoilulautaselle tai ota paloja pienellä piparimuotilla. Tarjoile juustojen ja viinin kanssa rapeakuorista leipää ja suolaisia keksejä. Erilaiset antipastot – kuten ilmakuivattu kinkku, aurinkokuivatut tomaatit ja oliivit – maistuvat juuston ja viinin kanssa ja tuovat väriä juustolautaselle. Don David Malbec Reserve 2018 on juuri se kauan kaivattu juustolautasen kumppani! Mehevä ja marjaisen hillomainen punaviini on koville ja suolaisille juustoille se, mitä samppanja on mansikoille tai ostereille. Ota juustot ajoissa jääkaapista ja avaa kääreet. Juustojen maut ja aromit tulevat parhaiten esiin, kun ne ovat lähes huoneenlämpöisiä. Punaviinit taas ovat parhaimmillaan 16–18 asteisina tarjoiltuina, joten viilennä viiniä noin puoli tuntia jääkaapissa ennen tarjoilua. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{

Union Press Ltd | Wigglesworth House, Fourth Floor, 69 Southwark Bridge Road, London, SE1 9HH, UK Tel: +44 (0)20 7803 2420 Natalie MacLean writes about wine with a sensuous obsession... and often laugh-out-loud funny... Terrific. The historic Catena Zapata vineyards (first planted in 1902) are planted with the Catena family’s proprietary selection of Malbec, the Catena Cuttings. In 2018 the Catena Alta Malbec is sourced from Lot 18 of the Angélica vineyard, Lot 4 of the La Pirámide vineyard, Lot 1 of the Nicasia vineyard, Lot 6 of the Angélica Sur vineyard and Lot 9 of the Adrianna vineyard. The resulting wine has an appealing deep cherry colour with baked summer pudding fruits, creamy wood and floral overtones. Bright acidity and silky tannin give a nicely balanced wine in a restrained style with integrated fruit, wood and structure and good length. A wine for turkey or game birds and Camargue red rice.
