Don Aparo Malbec

Don Aparo Malbec is a delicious dry red wine whose name is inspired by a man who shared the same name. Don Aparo rode 14km to his vineyard daily on a bicycle to tend to his beloved vines and was often seen walking with a lantern through the vines on an evening to put the vineyards to bed. This story encapsulates everything that this winery has to offer; its history, tradition and passion for winemaking.

This Malbec is packed with juicy fruit-driven characters, with colourful and lightly perfumed aromas. Grown in the heart of Argentina's wine country, Mendoza, which is famously known for its Malbec, this wine is sure to impress anyone with its unique fruity flavours.

Flavours

Tasting notes: Don Aparo Malbec is a superb, dry red with juicy, blackberry flavours with overtones of succulent plum and black cherry. This is all balanced beautifully with colourful and lightly perfumed aromas.

Serving

Serving temperature: This malbec is best served just below room temperature, between 13 to 14° C. Malbec is a medium-bodied wine so this temperature creates a greater mouthfeel and helps to balance the acidity. Chill in the fridge for 25 minutes before serving.

Glass Style: Opt for wide-bowled glass for a greater surface area. This allows the wine to breathe because of its rich characteristics and creates a proper balance between flavours.
