Founded by acclaimed winemaking pioneer Paul Hobbs, Viña Cobos is celebrated worldwide for elevating Argentine Malbec through meticulous vineyard selection and precision winemaking. Sourced from premier mountain sites across the Uco Valley, this bottling showcases the intense floral perfume, striking dark fruit purity, and fresh mineral acidity characteristic of high-altitude terroirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine stands out for its seamless harmony of velvet power, dramatic altitude-driven freshness, and sophisticated oak integration. Grown in vineyards situated up to twelve hundred metres above sea level, the grapes experience bright solar radiation combined with cool mountain nights. Matured thoughtfully in a combination of French and American oak barrels, it delivers a deeply layered profile of dark wild berries, violet blossoms, and sweet spice underpinned by refined, mouth-coating tannins that offer both immediate charm and great cellaring potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested from select high-altitude vineyard parcels planted on stony, alluvial soils with limestone deposits across the Uco Valley. Upon arrival at the winery, the fruit undergoes double sorting before being gravity-fed into closed stainless steel fermenters. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, accompanied by careful daily cap management to extract deep colour and fine-grained structural tannins gently. The wine matures for approximately fifteen to eighteen months in French oak barrels (a blend of new and second-fill) before being bottled without fining or filtration to safeguard its full textural richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents an opaque, dark violet-purple colour. The nose is intense and lifted, opening with enticing scents of ripe blueberries, dark plums, and crushed cassis, layered with signature notes of fresh violet, cocoa nibs, sweet tobacco, and a touch of graphite minerality. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and velvety, delivering concentrated black fruit flavours supported by ultra-smooth, fine tannins and a vibrant line of mountain acidity that leads into a long, fragrant finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its generous structure, rich fruit core, and polished tannins, this Uco Valley Malbec is an outstanding companion for prime cuts of red meat and hearty cuisine. It pairs magnificently with grilled Argentine bife de chorizo (sirloin), roasted rack of lamb, slow-braised beef short ribs, and seared duck breast. It is also an excellent match for wild mushroom dishes, venison stew, and matured hard cheeses such as Gouda, Manchego, or aged cheddar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGrape Varieties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Malbec\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drink Finder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55268125737303,"sku":"123139","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0899\/6824\/7127\/files\/Vina_Cobos_Bramare_Malbec_Uco_Valley_2023_75cl.jpg?v=1791200037","url":"https:\/\/www.drinkfinder.co.uk\/products\/vina-cobos-bramare-malbec-uco-valley-75cl","provider":"Drink Finder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
