The Producer
Alamos Wines has more than 120 years of winemaking in Argentina. Bodegas Esmeralda S.A. is the registered producer entity. Malbec is the central grape, and Alamos Malbec is a wine.
Alamos Malbec ages on French and American oak before bottling. Alamos also makes an organic Malbec, Alamos Organic Malbec 2024, which gives the range a separate organic bottle alongside Alamos Malbec.
Place
The vineyards lie beneath the Andes Mountains in Mendoza. Alamos sources grapes from high altitude sites in Luján de Cuyo and Valle de Uco. In these two Mendoza regions, elevation can slow ripening and help preserve acidity as the grapes mature.
Malbec is therefore tied directly to the place. The wine comes from mountain country, with vineyard sources identified through Mendoza rather than a single estate parcel.
Wines
Alamos Malbec ages on a combination of French and American oak before bottling. Oak ageing can add spice and soften the feel of tannin while the fruit develops in the bottle.
Alamos Organic Malbec 2024 is the organic Malbec expression, listed as a red Mendoza wine. The named bottles keep Malbec at the centre.
In The Glass
Alamos Malbec opens with blackberry and dark cherry, followed by white pepper and chocolate. The palate is bright and dry, with medium to full body. The fruit profile moves from dark berries to spice and cocoa, while the oak contributes another layer before bottling.
