El Payador Malbec 2023

93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team

"Made with grapes from high-altitude vineyards in some of Mendoza’s best sites, this is delicious. Almost purple in the glass it’s juicy and smooth with ripe black-fruit notes - blackberries, cassis and cherries with a gently spiced finish – all balanced by a delicious freshness. What a crowd pleaser and, obviously, incredible with my steak!"
- Wine Direct Tasting Team

Deep violet red in colour with bright crimson highlights. A ripe and expressive nose of cherries, raspberries and fresh citrus with subtle notes of spicy oak. The palate is medium bodied with vibrant red berry flavours framed by rounded tannins and savoury complexity. An impressively long, dry finish.

It's the perfect 'one size fits all' Argentinian red -  fleshy and ripe enough to be gluggable but with the palate weight and oak structure to reward the more discerning drinker. The finish is long and dry making it a perfect partner for robust dishes and grilled red meats. It's obvious value. Buy with confidence.
