2019 Malbec, Bodegas Melipal

Add to Wishlist

The Arisiti family behind Melipal were farmers for many generations before expanding to grape-growing and winemaking in 2002. Not long after that, they managed to acquire the renowned Nazarenas vineyard, home to some of Mendoza’s oldest Mal bec vines, and a key source – along with other Melipal sites – of the fruit for this wine. Made in a modern style with plump, juicy, clean fruit aged in some new French oak, the grainy tannins lend structure. Today Melipal is owned by Mendo za superstar Achaval-Ferrer, bringing further expertise, though it continues to operate as a separate brand.
