BenMarco Malbec 2022 from Los Chacayes in Argentina’s Uco Valley is a concentrated, high‑altitude Malbec that delivers ripe fruit, freshness and serious structure in classic Mendoza style. This BenMarco Malbec 2022 is a terrific steak‑night red that seriously overdelivers for the price.

Aromas are packed with blackberry, black cherry and plum, layered with black berries, violet, currant, a little roasted coffee bean, vanilla spice and a subtle volcanic, earthy edge. The palate is lush and medium‑ to full‑bodied, with chewy dark fruit, pronounced acidity, firm chalky tannins and a long, savoury, slightly spicy finish shaped by 11 months in second‑use French oak.

BenMarco Malbec 2022 is spot‑on with grilled or charred steaks, sausages, lamb, roast or seasoned pork, hard cheeses and rich meat‑based pastas. It will also shine with hearty winter stews and barbecued meats, and has the structure to improve in bottle over the next 5–8 years.
