Los Andes Reserve Malbec Blanco 2025

The Reserva de Los Andes Malbec Blanco cuvée is produced in the province of Mendoza, the historic heart of Argentine viticulture and a region renowned worldwide for its high-altitude terroirs dominated by the Andes mountain range. In this sunny area, the well-drained alluvial soils and the wide temperature range between hot days and cool nights encourage slow ripening of the Malbec grapes vinified white, offering a clean aromatic expression while preserving freshness and natural balance.

After harvesting at optimal ripeness, the Malbec grapes are pressed directly, then the free-run juice is separated and settled. It is then fermented at low temperature to preserve aromatic freshness. Fermentation takes place slowly in stainless-steel tanks to keep the purity of the fruity aromas.

This Malbec, vinified as a blanc de noirs, reveals notes of fresh white-fleshed fruit, fresh herbs, jasmine, melon, white peach and lemon zest along with a subtle saline minerality. On the palate, it is lively and refreshing, underlined by balanced acidity that stretches across the palate.

Although Argentina is considered the "New World," its winemaking tradition is much older than one might think, dating back to the time of Spanish colonization in the 16th century and later by Italian settlers. Unlike Chile, wine has long been part of the country's culture. No wine-producing country in the world made more progress in the last years of the 20th century (on a viticultural and oenological level, and necessarily financially), which allowed the country's wine producers to raise quality levels and consolidate an international export market. Argentina has now become the fifth largest wine-producing country in the world, after France, Italy, Spain, and the United States.


Viticulture is practiced primarily in the foothills of the Andes, particularly in Mendoza, where desert landscapes and high altitudes combine to produce aromatic and intensely flavored wines. Some vineyards can even be planted at altitudes of up to 3,000 meters!


The terroir here is well-suited to Argentina's adopted grape variety: the ubiquitous Malbec. Originally from Bordeaux, it is now responsible for some of Argentina's most famous wines, characterized by their brightness and intensity, with floral notes and black fruit flavors. Other red varieties produced in Argentina include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Bonarda, Syrah, Tempranillo, and Pinot Noir. Among white wines, the emblematic grape of the Argentine wine region is Torrontés, which produces a wine with a floral and tropical flavor. The country also produces Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Grigio. Today, Argentine wines are recognized worldwide for their full-bodied reds and as high-quality wines.
