Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec

The 2017 Golden Reserve Malbec was produced with fruit from the four districts in Lujan de Cuyo produced in a traditional way. Juicy and balanced, with good ripeness but without excess, fine tannins and some grip.

The Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months plus another 12 months in bottle before release. It begins with a very attractive aroma full of violets, lavender, blackberries and cola. Taking a sip uncovers a well-structured, smooth and dry wine full of deep fruit flavors and tinged with toasty oak. Plum, blackberry, black cherry, licorice, a little spice and herbs are all on display in this very tasty and balanced medium to full-bodied wine. Fine tannins and even a bit of minerality lead into the long, satisfying and slightly dusty finish which features some lingering notes of chocolate and tobacco.

Intense red color with violet tints. The aromatic profile expresses the sharpness of red fruits such as raspberries and blackberries. Intense and deep on the nose. Full-bodied palate with vibrant tannins. Round structure and a juicy finish.
