Region: Argentina, Mendoza, Valle de Uco
Grape Variety: 85% Malbec & 15% Cabernet Franc
Tasting Notes: Gualtallary is recognized for its calcareous alluvial soils, and BenMarco Expresivo is the utmost expression of its typicity. It is a lineal, fresh wine with aromas of blackberries, pepper tree and violets that perfectly complement its mineral notes, its balanced natural acidity and its firm tannins. Besides, it has great aging potential.
Food Pairing: Red meats, roasted pork tenderloin, hard cheeses and cream-based sauces.
Critical Acclaim: James Suckling - 94 Points: ‘Blackberries, violets and chalk on the nose with hints of sea-salt flakes. Medium-bodied with tight, chewy tannins that are lively and fresh. Some savoury character to the pretty fruit at the finish. Drink or hold.’
