From high altitude vineyards at the foot of the Andes, this Malbec shows the polished, modern face of Mendoza while staying rooted in place. Luigi Bosca has been a benchmark Argentine producer for generations, and the Signature range is built to highlight purity of fruit and precision. The dry mountain air, intense sunlight and cold nights concentrate flavour while preserving acidity, shaping a wine that feels rich yet controlled.

Winemaking is sleek and contemporary, focused on texture and balance. Careful extraction builds velvety tannin, while measured oak ageing adds spice and frame without masking the fruit. The style aims for harmony, combining power with elegance.

Deep violet in colour, the aromas open with blackberry, plum and blueberry layered with cocoa, vanilla and floral notes. The palate is full bodied and plush, with dark fruit wrapped in silky tannins and bright acidity. Flavours of black cherry, chocolate and gentle spice flow into a long, smooth finish that feels generous but refined.

It pairs beautifully with grilled steak, lamb, roasted vegetables and rich sauces. Drinking impressively now, it will cellar comfortably for eight to ten years, gaining savoury complexity.
