Reserve Argentine Malbec Wine Kit

Your Reserve Argentine Malbec Wine Kit is the perfect choice for crafting a robust South American red wine at home. Originating from a hot, dry climate, the grapes used in this kit reach an optimal ripeness that results in a lush, fruity character. This formidable, black wine boasts an intense bouquet of damson plums, blackcurrant, and violet aroma, complemented by subtle hints of hunting and leather notes. The richly purple-hued Malbec carries the plush texture of ripe tannins, delivering long, soft flavors. While it ages beautifully, the firm tannins and mellow acidity make this wine enjoyable even when young.

Despite appearing different, the changes to this winemaking kit are only external.

Aging Guidelines for This Wine Kit

Recommended aging: 2 to 9 months after completing the winemaking process. This wine offers depth and structure that benefit from time to develop. Aging helps its fruit, oak, and tannins come into balance, creating a smoother drinking experience. Fuller, firmer styles generally benefit from the longer end of this range, while softer styles can be enjoyable sooner.
