Ocaso Malbec Gran Reserva 2020

Ocaso is produced by Gonzalo Gouguenheim from vineyards in the Uco Valley, Mendoza — one of Argentina's most exciting high-altitude wine regions, nestled in the foothills of the Andes. The Gran Reserva represents the top of the Ocaso range: a single-variety Malbec aged two full years in oak barrels, producing a wine of real complexity, concentration, and depth.

About This Wine

A rich, full-flavoured Malbec Gran Reserva from the cool Uco Valley, where altitude preserves freshness and aromatic precision. Two years in oak adds layers of vanilla, cocoa, and spice without masking the intense dark fruit that makes Argentine Malbec so compelling. A wine built for the cellar as much as the table.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Deep, inky ruby
Nose: Blackberry, blackcurrant, and a hint of aniseed with vanilla and toasted oak
Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated with blackberry, black cherry, dark plum, vanilla, and cocoa; smooth and velvety
Finish: Long and complex with lingering dark fruit, spice, and a warm oak close

Food Pairing

A natural partner for red meats, roast lamb, slow-cooked beef, and hard aged cheeses. Also excellent with grilled chicken and hearty stews.
