Pacheco Pereda Organic Fairtrade Malbec, Terroir & Winemaking Sourced from organically farmed vineyards in Mendoza, this Malbec benefits from the region’s high-altitude conditions at the foothills of the Andes. Intense sunlight promotes full ripening, while cool nighttime temperatures help retain freshness and structure. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Gentle extraction techniques are used to preserve fruit purity and soft tannins, followed by a short period of ageing that enhances texture without overshadowing the vibrant varietal character. Pacheco Pereda Organic Fairtrade Malbec, Tasting Notes Deep ruby in colour, this Malbec opens with inviting aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, layered with subtle hints of violet and spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with smooth tannins and a rounded mouthfeel. Juicy dark fruit flavours are complemented by touches of cocoa, black pepper, and a gentle earthy note, leading to a soft, lingering finish. The wine strikes a harmonious balance between richness and freshness. Food Pairing Suggestion: Argentinian Asado with Chimichurri & Charred Vegetables *Vintages are for illustration purposes only
