Hey Malbec is bright, stylish and gloriously drinkable, but underneath the fun there is real class. Wild dark fruits, blackberry and black plum lead the way, followed by violet, black pepper and a gentle note of vanilla and dark chocolate that gives the wine an extra layer of polish. The palate is rich and juicy, with soft ripe tannins and plenty of dark-fruited depth, yet it never feels heavy. Instead, there is a lovely freshness running through it, giving the wine lift, shape and a long, opulent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"981\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"672\"\u003eFor when:\u003c\/strong\u003e burgers are sizzling, the music is on, and the bottle needs personality as well as substance.\u003cbr data-start=\"766\" data-end=\"769\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"769\" data-end=\"784\"\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e steak, smoky barbecue, empanadas, or anything with char and spice.\u003cbr data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"854\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"884\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eIf this wine were a place:\u003c\/strong\u003e a rooftop in Mendoza at dusk, with warm air, city lights and the Andes watching in the distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"983\" data-end=\"1553\"\u003eMatias Riccitelli has become one of Argentina’s most exciting modern winemakers, known for wines that combine energy, site expression and a slightly rebellious sense of style.
