Antigal Uno Malbec 2023
A plush, expressive Malbec with plum, blackberry, violets, and soft chocolatey spice. Smooth, stylish, and highly approachable.
Crafted by the historic Antigal Winery, one of Argentina’s oldest wineries founded in 1897, the Antigal Uno Malbec 2023 is a bold yet elegant expression of Mendoza’s high-altitude terroir. Sourced from select vineyards in the Uco Valley and Maipú, this 100% Malbec reflects the region’s signature balance of ripe fruit intensity, floral lift, and Andean freshness.
Bursting with flavours of plum, blackberry, and strawberry, the wine is accented by delicate notes of violet, vanilla, and milk chocolate. Aged briefly in oak to preserve purity while adding finesse, it offers a silky texture, gentle tannins, and a long, satisfying finish.
A perfect match for grilled meats, hearty dishes, or stylish sipping on any occasion.
Antigal Uno Malbec 2023 is a modern Mendoza Malbec made to combine visual impact and broad customer appeal with a recognisably varietal, well-judged palate. The Uno range has become popular because it offers the rich fruit and soft tannins people expect from Malbec, but in a polished, contemporary style that is easy to enjoy.
The 2023 vintage works especially well for that brief. The wine is youthful, dark-fruited, and open, with enough floral character to keep it feeling lively rather than flat. Oak influence is present in a supportive way, adding cocoa and sweetness of impression without overwhelming the fruit.
This makes it a very useful recommendation for those who enjoy generous reds but still want freshness and smoothness. It is not a severe or cellar-driven Malbec; it is designed to show ripe fruit, polish, and immediate charm.
A dry, medium-bodied red with supple tannins and a rounded, fruit-led palate. It is smoother and easier than more structured, terroir-led Malbecs, but still retains enough violet and spice character to feel properly varietal.
