93 Points Tim Atkin
 "Split 50/50 between the Uco Valley and Agrelo, this textbook Mendoza Malbec is wonderfully aromatic and harmonious, with some white pepper notes, savoury tannins and caressing filigree tannins.
Lovely winemaking."

90 Points James Suckling
 "A good, all-round style with sturdy tannins and a fresh array of red berries and plums on offer."

Our Thoughts on this wine.....

This is the textbook definition of Malbec in a great vintage year.
Dark purple in color, complex, with aromas of red and black fruits.
Floral notes appear on the nose, violet and field spices
combine nicely with the oak to  provide soft notes of chocolate.
In the mouth it is fresh, elegant, with velvety tannins and great length on the finish.
Delicious!
 

A bit about Nieto Senetiner ….
Nieto Senetiner is one of Mendoza’s oldest wineries, founded in 1888 when Italian immigrants planted the first vineyards in Vistalba, a sub-region in Mendoza’s primera zona Luján de Cuyo. Since then, Nieto has produced exceptional wines from classic Argentine varietals that thrive in the unique, high altitude terroir of the Andean foothills.
 
Sourcing fruit from its three long-standing estate vineyards in Luján de Cuyo (Vistalba, Agrelo, and Alto Agrelo) and premier sites in the Uco Valley, today Nieto produces some of Argentina’s most consistently awarded Malbecs.
 
Nieto’s signature Malbec showcases fruit exclusively from Luján de Cuyo vineyards. Its Don Nicanor wines are produced at the historic winery in Vistalba using fruit selected from sites in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley to create a more elegant and intense Malbec style.
 
In addition to its rich heritage, Nieto is investing in the future with sustainable winemaking practices, and under the guidance of a young, innovative winemaking team led by Santiago Mayorga and consultant Paul Hobbs.
