Originally from Bordeaux, Hervé Fabre is now famous for his award-winning Argentine reds. His wines are indeed admirable, but it is the HJ Fabre GGG Malbec 2019 (GGG is Gran Grande Gualtallary in short) that is really special. A cool, high-altitude region in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, Gualtallary is garnering lots of recognition and a cult following for its amazing reds. On the nose, look forward to complex cherry, slate and dark chocolate – even just the aroma is completely mesmerising! On the palate, discover blueberries, plum, black pepper and oak on a long, layered finish. This is superb – a must-have for lovers of fine Argentine Malbec.
Trapiche selects three top growers each vintage and honours them with a special bottling. Robert Parker says “these wines are among the finest values in high class Malbec”. The apogee of fine Malbec, Coletto has riveting intensity and finesse.
