Keeper—My Favorite Dessert Wine in Argentina

Incredible for a dessert wine by Argentine standard. Unlike most dessert wines in Argentina, it’s actually fortified, too, so it’s quite sweet.

Great, bright ruby color, like the color of strawberries. Has a great fogginess to it with numerous shades.

Not much aroma—somewhat tempered by the refrigeration. Just has a refreshing humidity that pops out.

Tastes very fruity and sweet, but not syrupy for something so fortified. It combines the extreme fruitiness of a Malbec with the sweetness of a highly fortified wine, balancing each with the other. Moreover, it has the lightness of a true ice wine. Strawberries and raspberries are especially prominent. This is an absolute pleasure to drink

Overall Score: 4.3-4.5/5.0. Gets points for being the most interesting and unique dessert wine I’ve ever tried (it’s the only Ice wine style Malbec). It is also one of the only fortified dessert wines in Argentina, and it is perhaps the best example of a good Argentine dessert wine. Highly recommended.
