Description
Love Malbec? You’re in for a treat. Patagonia has a stellar reputation. Not only is the scenery spectacular, but the windswept slopes and bright light are also ideal for viticulture. No wonder a number of key players have established cellars there. And this Gold-winning, 95pt, partly oaked Malbec, with its lightly spiced, velvety black fruit that partners roast beef or steaks perfectly, is from a fine estate indeed.
Schroeder Estate was founded in 2001 by Herman Schroeder. It's a winery that continues to impress and has a trophy cabinet full of awards (including Argentina’s ‘Winery of the Year’). The estate’s soil is light and stony, which, combined with plenty of snowmelt for irrigation and biting winds, result in the sort of thick-skinned grapes that are ideal for structured reds. Best decanted for a while, then sip and savour
