Bodegas El Porvenir – Laborum Malbec
World Malbec Masters 2021 – Gold Medal
El Porvenir Laborum Malbec is in my opinion one of Argentina’s very best Malbecs with many awards to it’s name. Pure fruit expression with superb balance and length. The natural sugar level of these grapes from the highest quality winery in the world gives this wine incredible sweet fruit on entry. This is tempered by the oak (14 months in new both French and American). It’s super smooth, very well balanced with some vanilla coming through on the finish. If you want to see what all the fuss being made about Malbec is all about, this is the wine to go for!
