Andeluna Pasionado Malbec 2019 Mendoza
Characteristic intense red colour, with violet shades. Complex aromas of ripe red fruits, and sweet notes of violets. Oak ageing gives the wine delicate hints of vanilla and tobacco, with a touch of chocolate. A structured, full bodied wine, with rounded sweet tannins, and aromatic notes that linger, giving a long lasting finish.
Decanter Magazine in October 2017 rated the Andeluna Psionado Malbec as Highly Rceommended in the panel tasting.
"Impressive in size, with alcohol playing an important role here, yet it doesn't overwhelm. Juicy and tasty, well-constructed and harmonious. Drink 2017-2021."

Founded in 2003, Andeluna produces premium mountain wines from their 70 hectare vineyard situated at an elevation of 1,300 metres in the rocky terroir of Gualtallary, Tupungato in the Uco Valley, Mendoza. By night, the moon can be seen illuminating the magnificent Andes Mountains nearby and the winery has been named after this stunning scene. The vineyard is managed using sustainable practices and in 2015 the entire vineyard was soil mapped with cultivation methods adapted accordingly. Winemaker, Manuel Gonzalez (previously Head Winemaker at Pulenta Estate and Chief Oenologist at Trivento) works alongside Andeluna's wine consultant Hans Vinding Diers, together they use minimal intervention to create outstanding wines which have propelled this producer into the global spotlight in a very short space of time.
