Best loved Malbec has benefited from the great talent that is Santiago Mayorga (winemaker). It is possibly even juicier, fresh-ier and tastier than ever!
Production
Sourced from Nieto's 40 year old vineyards in Lujan de cuyo, Mendoza. 40% of the liquid ages 6-8 months in third use French oak barrels.
Nieto Malbec, Mendoza 2023 (6 bottles case)
Tasting notes
A deep dense blockbuster from 40+ year old vines. Blackberry plum fruit and sweet spice. The palate is silky and warming with more black fruit and cherries. The wine is vibrant with an alluring blend of fruit along with clove, pepper and cinnamon spice finished off with well-structured integrated tannins. A great wine with a fresh finish.
Food match
A treat with rich, red sauce based pasta dishes, game and semi-cured cheese.

Meet the producer
Nieto Senetiner has grown to become one of the leading stars of Mendoza. Although the vineyards and winery were founded by Italian immigrants and date back to 1888, they were acquired by the Nieto and Senetiner families in 1969.
Nieto has some 400 hectares of vineyards in virtually all of the best sub-districts of Mendoza from which it produces classic and modern wines characterised by the uniquely appealing balance of power and finesse that defines the best wines of the region. The top wines come from very old vineyards in the famed sub-district of Agrelo, and are fully deserving of their status.
Since joining the estate, winemaker Santiago Mayorga has taken the wines to another level and was named 'Young Winemaker of the Year 2017' by Tim Atkin.
