UKO Estate Malbec

Malbec from UKO Estate is typically grown in high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, where warm days and cool nights help achieve excellent ripeness while retaining acidity. Recent growing seasons have featured dry conditions, ideal for grape health and flavor concentration. These high-altitude sites, often over 3,000 feet above sea level, contribute to the wine’s intense fruit expression, floral lift, and balanced structure—hallmarks of quality Argentine Malbec.

Tasting Notes:
Rich, fruit-driven, and smooth, showcasing classic Mendoza character with a polished finish. The nose offers bold aromas of blackberry, plum, and violets, alongside subtle notes of cocoa, vanilla, and sweet spice. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied with juicy flavors of ripe black fruits, mocha, and a hint of smoke. The tannins are round and approachable, making for an easy-drinking yet satisfying red with a lingering, spice-tinged finish.

Serving Suggestions:
16–18°C (60–64°F) in medium-to-large red wine glasses. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, especially Argentine-style beef, BBQ ribs, lamb skewers, or stuffed peppers. Drink now for its juicy approachability or hold for 3–5 years to enjoy softening tannins and subtle earthy development.
