Our commitment with quality demands seeking well concentrated,
complex and expressive wines, qualities that allow Familia Marguery
into the world of high quality wines.
The Malbec
We have chosen Malbec to introduce ourselves into the Market.
This is so because Malbec is Argentina's emblematic variety and
because its production offered a great challenge due to its complexity.
Malbec is a difficult cepage (variety) to work on the vineyard.
Among other problems, the plant's vigor may cause the wines to have
herbaceous characteristics. However, each year we face and exceed
the challenge
Organoleptic characteristics of Malbec
A young Malbec presents a very dense and dark colour as cherry red
or morello cherry red. This red colour can evolve into almost black
and with time into an elegant ruby red. Morello cherry, cherry,
berries, plum and raisins are the main aromas in fine Malbec. For
some specialists the violet, the strawberry and the amber are its
three main aromas. In the mouth, flavours like plum, plum marmalade,
morello cherry and morello cherry marmalade appear. Malbec wines
are warm, soft and they present pleasant sweet tannins once they
start to evolve. The aroma and flavour of vanilla, chocolate, cacao
and coffee arises from the oxidation of the oak wood of the barrels
together with the polyphenols of the wine.
