Finca El Origen Gran Reserva Malbec

Established in 1996, Finca El Origen is the first Chilean winery in Argentina. With a surface area under vine of 229 hectares, the vineyards situated at 1,200 meters above sea level on the Andean foothills were the first ever to be planted in Vista Flores, Uco Valley, in 1998. 

Much like the nautilus fossil that told us the story of the ocean-turned-mountain where our vineyards sit, our Gran Reserva wines tell us the tale of grapes turned into the most sublime of all high-altitude, Single-Vineyard, barrel-aged wines.

The concentration of this Malbec is made evident by its purple color and intense violet hues. A wine of enticing aromatic intensity, with aromas of vanilla and white chocolate, notes of licorice and black fruits that contribute to its elegant complexity. The mouthfeel shows some sweetness, excellent volume, well-integrated wood, and an interesting complexity. The solid structure gives this wine a long aging potential of 10 years.

Finca El Origen Reserva Estate Malbec originates in their vineyard located in Vista Flores, one of the most prestigious, high-altitude micro-terroirs in the Uco Valley, Mendoza. This Grand Reserva is full bodied, complex, has good depth, soft, rounded tannins, integrated oak, and is well balanced. Bold flavors of blackberry, plum, black currant, leather, oak, anise, licorice, meat, and violet with hints of spice all resonate.

Food Pairing: Try with beef shish-ka-bobs.
