Domaine Jean Bousquet Malbec is crafted in the high-altitude vineyards of Tupungato, Mendoza, at over 1200 meters above sea level. The grapes benefit from a dry climate with significant temperature fluctuation between day and night, enhancing their complexity and intensity. The vineyard’s organic farming practices ensure a pure expression of the terroir. After harvesting, the Malbec undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its vibrant fruit character, followed by aging in French oak for six months to add depth and subtle spiciness. This wine has been praised for its robust yet balanced character, earning accolades for its expressive nature, including consistently high ratings from wine critics.
