This wine is the premier example of why the Malbec wine has become the star of Argentina. Grown at 2500 feet elevation in the Andes foothills, this wine is 100% Malbec from the rocky vineyards of the Maipu desert. A perfect scenario to produce the finest red grape of Argentina.
TASTING NOTES:Shows a deep red and purple color with an expressive nose of fully ripe cherry and raspberry with a hint of spice. Dense and full berry flavors with the right amount of oak in the mouth. A great body and length with a softness and sweetness to the tannins. Serve with meats, cheeses, grilled foods. This is a red that can go with everything or nothing at all.

"The regular Legado 2008 Malbec is a youthful fresh tasting wine. It displays red and blue berry fruit on the nose and high toned red pomegranate and plum fruit on the palate. It is uncomplicated, easy drinking and delicious."

Founder, Tomas Machado’s family ancestor Don Manuel de Villefane began making wine in Argentina in the year 1611, which gives us nearly 400 years of wine making experience here in the heart of South America. This impressive winery represents his ‘Legacy’ or ‘Legado’ (in Spanish), and we are proud to honor his memory with these fine wines of Maipu, Mendoza.
