Enrique Foster "Firmado" Malbec – a limited flagship wine for connoisseurs
Enrique Foster "Firmado" Malbec is the winery’s limited-edition, premium selection, featuring the owner’s signature on the bottle. This detail signals a carefully crafted, prestige wine that reflects the estate’s philosophy and winemaking expertise in every sip.
Vineyards and ageing – selection from the finest old vines
The wine is made from Malbec grapes harvested from the oldest vines on the estate. These mature vines typically yield less fruit, resulting in more concentrated, aroma-rich grapes – ideal for creating a flagship wine. After careful selection and processing of the bunches, the wine is aged for 15 months in French oak barrels. This maturation brings subtle spicy, vanilla and toasted notes, adding elegant oak character while preserving the Malbec’s vibrant fruit. The wine is bottled unfiltered to retain its full structure and complex aromatic profile.
Aroma, taste and appearance
"Firmado" shows a deep, dark red colour with violet reflections in the glass, expressing the variety’s natural intensity. On the nose, ripe berry fruits – such as blackcurrant, blackberry and blueberry – take the lead, supported by complex spicy tones and refined cocoa, tobacco and oak notes. On the palate it is full-bodied and layered, yet balanced; fruit, oak spice and firm but well-integrated tannins come together in a harmonious whole.
The long finish is marked by lingering spicy and fruity nuances with gently sweet oak notes, making this wine particularly rewarding when enjoyed slowly and with attention.
Serving suggestions and occasions
This Malbec is an excellent choice for celebrations, special dinners or as an impressive gift for wine lovers. It pairs beautifully with red meats, flavourful beef and lamb dishes, aged hard cheeses and rich, slow-cooked stews. Serve at 60–64 °F (16–18 °C) in a large red wine glass to allow its full aromatic complexity to unfold.
Thanks to its limited production and artisanal character, this is a bottle worth saving for memorable moments or placing among the carefully selected wines in your cellar for further ageing.
