2021 Berry Bros. & Rudd Argentinian Malbec by Pulenta, Mendoza

The great Pulenta estate’s rich, smooth Malbec has abundant raspberry and a savoury finish.

Will Lyons, The Sunday Times (October 2023)

We are delighted to work once again with the superb team at Pulenta Estate on this wonderfully consistent and refreshing Malbec. Pulenta is situated 980 metres above sea level, lending the wines a coolness and freshness. Their grape-growing and winemaking is also de facto organic.

Increasingly recognised as Argentina's signature grape variety, Malbec produces deeply coloured and vibrantly fruity wines with fine tannins and bright acidity. This example is fresh and soft, and whilst excellent paired with steak, is also very enjoyable on its own.

Tasting note

This wine has a fine, ripe raspberry nose with a blackberry depth and a savoury edge. The palate is ultra smooth, yet the fruit here is still juicy and fresh, reminiscent of a raspberry-and-blackberry pie. It is so generous and giving yet so integrated and harmonious. The tannins are like soft flakes which blend seamlessly on the long, damson-and-cranberry-edged finish.
