The Vinalba Cabernet from Domaine Vistalba is made to the same standards as its Malbec sibling, being full-bodied and packed with the flavours of blackcurrants and blackberries. This is an excellent, full-bodied wine ideal with red meat dishes.

PRODUCER NOTES

Viñalba is an exciting new range of wines which showcases the depth and elegance Argentina can offer. Launched in 2008, it has already won 24 awards, including trophies at the IWC and Decanter awards.

The wines are made by Hervé J. Fabre, who was born in Bordeaux and was one of the first foreigners to recognise the potential of Argentina. In 1992 he built the first winery in the Vistalba region of Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza. At the time, Malbec was viewed as little more than a blending partner, but Hervé saw its potential and bought a number of 100 year-old Malbec vineyards; and he was the first person to make a single-varietal Malbec wine in Argentina.

Hervé believes that Argentine Malbec is now ready for the next stage in its evolution, and has identified a number of different terroirs in Lujan de Cuyo and Valle de Uco which offer perfect growing conditions for Malbec. Viñalba offers a range of beautifully expressive wines which combine purity of fruit and clear varietal expression with the elegance and complexity that is the hallmark of Hervé’s classical background.
