Callia Selected Malbec
$19.95
Medium body with generous fruit flavours with vanilla and chocolate notes and a lingering spicy finish.
The grapes were hand-harvested and immediately crushed to preserve the freshness and fruit character. The grapes were cold macerated and then fermented. The wine was then aged in French and American oak for added depth and structure.
A triumph for the varietal and a great deal at this price. Aromas of wild berries, raspberries and cherries, melded with vanilla and chocolate notes contributed by oak. Tannins are firm and structured, yet sweet and pleasant.

Bodegas Callia is situated in the Tulum Valley in Argentina’s province of San Juan. It is nestled between the Pie de Palo hills to the north and the Cerro Chico Del Zonsa to the south. Two fincas (estates) encompass 300 hectares of land: Finca Pie de Palo and Finca 9 De Julio. At 2,133 feet above sea level, the area is blessed by temperate climate, low rainfall and rich sandy alluvial and clay loam soil; the result is intense and fruity wines that reflect the rich terroir of this region.
