Bodega DiamAndes, Grande Reserve Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina, 2017

Overview of the Wine
The Bodega DiamAndes is a single estate nestled in the foothills of the Andes Mountain, at an altitude of 1,100 meters. The vineyard is located in the heart of the Uco valley, one of the best quality vineyard areas in. Bodega DiamAndes has gained international recognition across the world, and is increasingly appreciated for its excellent quality and value for money. The fabulous terroir and the ideal climate, combined with expertise and experience, has resulted in the outstandingly long-living wines.

In 2005, the Bonnie family, owner of the renowned Château Malartic-Lagraviere (Grand Cru Classe de Graves) and of the Château Gazin Rocquencourt (Pessac-Léognan), decided to leave France in search for new horizons in the world of wine. It all began with the acquisition, along with their partners, of a single 130-hectares (321 acres) block of land in the heart of the Uco Valley, to the south of the city of Mendoza. That is where Bodega DiamAndes was born, as a member of the prestigious Clos de los Siete group. The winery’s architectural design blends harmoniously into the stunning Andean scenery. In this context, the winemaking process has taken place under exceptional conditions since the 2007 vintage.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in color. Intense aromas of ripe red and dark fruits like plum and blackberries, with subtle notes of spices. Full body, depth and rich, very long and structured.

94 Points - James Suckling
Aromas of black cherries, blackcurrants, violets and mocha. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, sleek tannins. Smooth and silky with layers of spiced black fruit and dark chocolate. Long and layered.
