Sottano Reserva Malbec 750ml

Malbec arrived in Argentina from France in the 19th century and found a home better than the one it left. In the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, where intense sunlight meets cold mountain nights, the grape produces wines of extraordinary depth and colour while keeping a softness that French Malbec rarely achieves.

Sottano is a family winery working in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, and this Reserva shows why the region has such a following. Time in oak adds layers of chocolate, coffee and sweet spice over a core of ripe plum and dark berry — full-bodied, but with tannins so fine that the wine drinks far more easily than its weight suggests.

Did You Know?
📖 Mendoza’s vineyards sit between 800 and 1,500 metres above sea level, some of the highest commercial plantings anywhere. The altitude means fierce daytime sun and cold nights, and that swing is what lets the grapes ripen fully while holding onto the acidity that keeps the wine fresh.

🌟 Final Note: Rich, smooth and generous. If you have not yet discovered Argentine Malbec, this is a very good place to start.
