Description
Hailing from El Cepillo in the Uco Valley, Crux Malbec is a true reflection of Mendoza’s high-altitude terroir. At nearly 1,200 metres above sea level, these vineyards benefit from warm days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to develop intense concentration and elegance while preserving their natural freshness. With half the wine aged in French oak barrels for six months, the result is a Malbec that’s both powerful and refined—a perfect match for Argentinian steak or a cheese board.
A bold, expressive, and deeply satisfying. A glass of Crux greets you with intense aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and dark cherry, laced with hints of liquorice, nutmeg, and a touch of black pepper. The palate is rich and smooth, with a silky yet structured feel that delivers a perfect balance of ripe fruit, bright acidity, and velvety tannins. A touch of smoky oak and dark cocoa lingers on the finish, making this an irresistibly moreish red that begs for another sip.
