Schroeder Estate Patagonia Malbec 2016

A glorious Gold medal winner using Argentina’s flagship grape. It comes from a top estate in Patagonia, in the very south. With strong winds and blue skies, the conditions there are perfect for vines, hence the velvet fruit richness of this red.

The Wine
Lying on a similar latitude to New Zealand’s Otago, Patagonia has gained a stellar reputation for quality in the last decade. Not only is the scenery spectacular, but the windswept slopes and clear atmosphere are ideal for viticulture. No wonder a number of key players have established cellars there. Schroeder Estate was founded in 2001 by Herman Schroeder, whose father Luis escaped inflation ridden Germany in the 1920s and set up as a farmer in Argentina. In the last 15 years Schroeder has won many awards, including ‘Winery of the Year 2006’. The soil is light and stony, sunlight is clear and meltwater is plentiful, while biting winds result in small, thick skinned berries, ideal for reds. Partly oaked, this wine is great with red meats.
