Bodega el Portillo Malbec 2005
|
|
BN#184368 |
This Malbec was made entirely of hand-harvested grapes from select plots of the vineyard estate Finca El Portillo, located at 1,050 meters (3,440 feet) above sea level. Soils are the alluvial type, lying on a gravel bed with good permeability and drainage.
Deep hues of ruby red gain intensity from shades of shimmering violet in this Malbec with good structure, medium acidity and a long finish. More red than black fruit, the El Portillo Malbec is a nicely defined wine with excellent ripeness and fine palate textures, an easy red wine. Rich with fruit,the nose is reminiscent of plums and blackberries. Tannins as soft as velvet set the stage for an enviably round finish.
Enjoy with grilled pork chops, Argentine-grilled skirt steak, also hard cheeses, cheesey dishes, other cuts of beef (grilled), roasts, and rich-flavored grilled veggies.
