Subject: RE: Malbeck |
| Hi there, Julian and rest of the forum Malbec grapes, said to be originaries from Cahors, France - known there also as "Cot" - seem to have found their ideal terroir in Argentina to result in outstanding red wines. Specially appreciated are the Malbec´s from the Mendoza area; and therein, the region known as "Primera Zona" (Zone 1), located at the Andes piedmont along the Mendoza river, produce the most awarded ones. The northern Cafayate and San Juan zones are making also very good wines with this grape variety. As varietal wines, there are some types that a wine-lover can distingish with no doubt: Those "french-styled" Malbec´s with plenty of aromas and medium bodied (e.g. Lurton, Altavista, Chandon, Fabre-Montmayou); those younger and spiced, with no or very few oak (e.g. Salentein, Catena, Trapiche, Santa Julia) and those fully bodied with plenty of tanins and well balanced in oak (e.g. Weinert, Norton, Luigi Bosca) Very well accepted is the cuvée made by many argentine wineries that assemble Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to produce some of their best-buy wines: e.g. Carrascal (Weinert), San Felipe (Rutini), Clasico (Norton), Valmont (Chandon), Carcassone (Escorihuela). In my humble preference, my favorite malbec´s are 2 ones: The traditional Fond-De-Cave made by Trapiche and the strong FAPES 1999 from Uco Valley (the "star"zone for producing wines in Mendoza). Enjoy! Yours, cordially, Aurelio Bujaldon Mendoza, Argentina -----Mensaje original----- De: wineforum_owner@apris.de [mailto:wineforum_owner@apris.de]En nombre de Julian Majul Enviado el: Domingo, 06 de Junio de 2004 07:40 p.m. Para: wineforum@wein-plus.com Asunto: [wineforum] Malbeck Hello, my name is Julian, and I live in Spain. I am writting because I would like to say that I am a Malbeck lover. A friend of mine had told me once that the best Malbeck is from Argentina, so I decidied to try and see if that was true. It was very hard for me to find a place to buy it but finally I found it in a web site called www.vinosforexport.com.ar I have to say that I really recommend this site and the argentine Malbec because certainly the best Malbeck in my opinion it is from Argentina. --------------------------------- ¿Cómo usás el correo electrónico? ¿Qué pensás del spam y de los virus?
