Description

Malbec would be little more than a relic of Bordeaux and Cahors were it not for Argentina. Having adopted the grape, it now makes the world's most impressive examples, including this red, which scooped 'Best Malbec of Argentina' on its debut vintage.


Great grapes, great skill - this velvety red is a winning combination made by Opi (aka Rodolfo) Sadler. Opi was given his childhood nickname by his sister and it stuck. Such a gentle, shy, affable and modest man, it just seems to fit. He crafts this great red from hand picked grapes grown high in the Maipu Region from vines irrigated with the melt water from the Andes. Oak ages it for six months. Enjoy with red meat dishes, spicy sausages, pasta,  beef casserole or cheese.


Wine made at the Andean Vineyards.
