Enrique Foster Los Altepes Malbec – distinctive Argentinian Malbec
Enrique Foster Los Altepes Malbec is a carefully selected Argentinian red wine from Mendoza’s renowned wine region, specifically from the higher-altitude areas of Los Andes. The elevated vineyards bring cooler nights and slower ripening for the grapes, resulting in concentrated aromas and an elegant acidity.
Aroma and flavour profile
In the glass it shows a deep ruby-red colour. On the nose, ripe plum, black cherry and blueberry unfold, complemented by subtle spicy notes with hints of cocoa and vanilla. On the palate it is full-bodied yet balanced; rich dark berry flavours are supported by velvety tannins and well-integrated acidity, leading to a long, satisfying finish.
Food pairing and serving suggestions
Los Altepes Malbec pairs well with red meats, grilled beef, lamb or seasoned pork roasts. It also works nicely with aged semi-hard cheeses and rich pasta dishes with tomato or mushroom-based sauces. Serve at 16–18 °C to highlight the balance between juicy fruit and gentle spice.
Occasions and style
This Malbec is modern and fruit-driven in style, while still reflecting the characteristic structure of wines from Mendoza. It is an ideal choice for dinners with friends, weekend barbecues, or any occasion where you want a characterful yet approachable red wine. It can also be enjoyed on its own, as it is not overly heavy but flavourful enough to leave a lasting impression.
Why choose it?
Enrique Foster Los Altepes Malbec combines the classic strengths of the Malbec grape – deep colour, intense fruit and velvety tannins – with the freshness of high-altitude vineyards. It is well-suited to those who enjoy rich yet balanced red wines and are keen to explore the diverse world of Argentinian wine.
