Trilogie Malbec 2023 750ml
ARGENTINA : MENDOZA : LUJAN DE CUYO
SUSTAINABLE : Malbec
MED-BODIED, DARK BERRY, PLUM, BAKING SPICE, NO OAK
Hervé Joyaux Fabre came from Bordeaux to Argentina in the early 1990s, bought vineyards planted in 1908, and built Fabre Montmayou in Luján de Cuyo — the Mendoza sub-appellation most associated with classic, plush Malbec. The Trilogie is the winery's entry-level expression: 100% Malbec, fruit-forward, no oak, ready now.
The 2023 vintage brought the lowest yields in Mendoza since 1960 — Zonda winds and El Niño conditions — but the surviving fruit showed unusual natural acidity and concentration. Decanter called it a year of "low yields but unprecedented balance." For everyday Malbec, the vintage delivers above expectations.
PAIRINGS :
| Grilled skirt steak | the quintessential Malbec match; soft tannins frame the char without competing |
| Roasted lamb chops | dark berry fruit bridges the gaminess cleanly; a rosemary crust ties it together |
| Beef empanadas | Argentina's classic pairing — origin and wine in one bite |
