Product Description
Details

A varietal Malbec, a grape variety seldom found in Spain, Mil Historias Malbec is made from organically grown vines perched at 1,100 metres above sea level, in the town of Ladete (Cuenca), DO Manchuela.

Produced by Bodega Altolandón, this Spanish red wine was vinified in 6,000-litre diposits, in which the grapes were first macerated for a long time to extract colour and tannin. Then they fermented with native yeasts under controlled temperature.

After that, Mil Historias Malbec 2018 was transferred into French oak barrels, 4 years old at most, where it went through malolactic fermentation and was aged for 12 months. It was naturally stabilized before bottling.

It is advisable to open this organic red wine 30 minutes before drinking.

Nose

This high-altitude Malbec is very intense. Blueberries, blackcurrants and cherries, with remembrances of black pepper, violets and spices. 

Palate

This wine from Bodega Altolandón is energetic, slightly tannic and very fresh. Good fruit and a spicy note, all the way to a long finish with a smokey and toasted aftertaste.

Our personal opinion

An uncommon, high-altitude Spanish Malbec, Mil Historias Malbec 2018 is a fabulous value.
