Gouguenheim - Malbec

In 2022, during our Chile/Argentina wine tour, we visited Gouguenheim Winery. The winemaker and owner, Patricio Gouguenheim, crafts limited - production wines in the high - altitude vineyards of Tupungato in the Uco Valley. This Malbec wine is a crowd - pleaser. It has a deep color and offers rich scents of plums, black cherries, and spices. The silky tannins add to its charm. With a brief 4 - month American oak aging, it gains sweet spice and toast flavors, adding more complexity to the taste.

To enjoy this Gouguenheim Malbec, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour after opening. Pour it into a wide - bowl wine glass to enhance the aroma. You can pair it with red meats like steak or lamb, or with strong - flavored cheeses. Keep the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and strong vibrations. Once opened, consume it within 2 - 3 days and store it in the fridge with a cork. This will help preserve its flavor and quality.
