Domaine Bousquet Malbec

This is by far Domaine Bousquet's best-selling wine, and naturally made from the Argentinian Malbec grape. All grapes are grown in the Uco Valley in Mendoza according to very strict standards. This allows all Malbec grapes to be grown as organic grapes. Domaine Bousquet's old vineyards are located at an altitude of 1200 meters. The climate here is perfect for powerful red wines. The vines receive plenty of sunshine during the hot summers, but also a tremendous amount of coolness from the winds that blow across the Andes. But that's not the only coolness the vineyards receive, as the difference between day and night temperatures is enormous, sometimes reaching up to twenty degrees.

Completely hand-harvested for this Domaine Bousquet Malbec

Once the Malbec grapes have reached their ideal ripeness, they are harvested entirely by hand. This only happens in the early morning, before sunrise. This early harvest minimizes the risk of bruising during transport, and they are shipped in small crates to the Domaine Bousquet winery. The wines are made with French suppleness. A notable feature is that the wines are aged without oak. This is done to preserve the fruity explosion in the Malbec and because the juice is already exceptionally rich. A wine to savor, where you can taste the beautiful, full flavors of the Malbec grape.
