La Celia Reserva Malbec

La Celia Reserva Malbec 2023 is a vibrant, high-altitude Uco Valley red from Finca La Celia, sourced from La Consulta and Eugenio Bustos vineyards at around 1,050 metres. This refined Argentine Malbec combines fresh and ripe fruit parcels for depth, then matures for eight to nine months in concrete, partly with French oak contact.

Fresh plum, violet and red berries lead the aromatics, joined by blackberry, blueberry, vanilla, cocoa and a gentle cedar note. The 2023 La Celia Reserva Malbec is intense yet polished, with concentrated dark fruit, juicy acidity and soft, rounded tannins. French oak adds a subtle savoury spice, while the long, generous finish stays bright, smooth and beautifully balanced.

Serve La Celia Reserva Malbec 2023 with charcoal-grilled beef ribs, lamb cutlets, slow-cooked brisket, mushroom risotto, beef empanadas or smoky barbecue vegetables. Its plush dark fruit and soft tannins suit grilled meats perfectly, while its fresh Uco Valley acidity prevents richer dishes from feeling heavy. Decant briefly and enjoy this delicious, food-first Malbec at around 16°C.
