Aruma Malbec 2019 is a rich and impressive wine. It brings together small batches of wine made from tiny parcels of premium Ucó Valley grapes – from Altamira, El Peral and San José – to create a fine, silky and complex blend. It symbolises the union between its co-creators, ‘Decanter Man of the Year’ Nicolás Catena, whose wines are “beacons for quality in Argentina” (Steven Spurrier), and the Rothschilds of Bordeaux, “synonymous with wealth, prestige, history, respect and remarkable wines” (Robert Parker). Hand harvested, high grown, old vine grapes provide outstanding quality, while absence of any oak ensures the wine shows great purity of fruit and Ucó terroir. Decant and serve with a tender rib-eye steak, venison or a rich casserole.
