Alpamanta Malbec Natal 2023

$1999

A Malbec that throws out the muscular Mendoza playbook in favor of vitality and crunch. Alpamanta works a biodynamic estate in Ugarteche, Lujan de Cuyo, where founders from Austria, Switzerland and France farm with composting, lunar cycles, and a near-religious commitment to letting place speak. Natal is the unoaked, juicy expression of the house: spontaneous fermentation, no additives, stainless steel only, bottled fresh to capture the lift and energy that this corner of Mendoza can show when nobody is trying to make it heavier than it wants to be. It drinks like Malbec rediscovering itself.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2023 Malbec Natal is sourced from a biodynamic vineyard in Ugarteche, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. This purplish-red wine exhibits aromas of cherry and plum, accompanied by a hint of violet. With a dry, juicy and fairly lean profile, this crystal-clear and nimble Malbec lingers on the fruit flavors—a primary cheerful red." —Joaquín Hidalgo

Grilled skirt steak with chimichurri, empanadas, choripan, mushroom tacos, or a Tuesday-night burger.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied and bright. Plum, dark cherry, a dusting of pepper and dried herb. Smooth tannins, fresh acidity, no oak in the way.
