2024 Guillermo de Mendoza - Malbec Mendoza Kosher (750ml)

This Malbec comes from Guillermo de Mendoza, produced in Mendoza, Argentina's largest and most important wine region, responsible for the majority of the country's total wine output. The bottling is certified kosher under OU supervision and made Mevushal, following production standards that keep it accessible across a wide range of kosher food service and home settings.

Malbec itself began as a minor blending grape in Bordeaux before a French agronomist brought it to Mendoza in 1868, recognizing that the region's hot days, cool nights, and high-altitude, arid climate suited the variety far better than its French homeland ever did. That combination has since made Mendoza practically synonymous with Malbec worldwide. For this bottling, grapes are hand-harvested at peak ripeness, then aged briefly in oak to soften the wine's edges without masking its fruit.

The wine pours a high-intensity ruby red with attractive violet hues, opening to aromas of berries, cherries, and ripe fig. On the palate, mature fruit flavors carry through with soft, rounded tannins that give the wine an easygoing, generous character. It pairs naturally with grilled steak, beef empanadas, or a firm aged cheese.
