Bodegas López, Casona Lopez Malbec Mendoza (2024)

Casona Lopez is the newest label from this 5th generation winemaking family, the original winery founded in 1898 by Jose Gregorio Lopez Rivas. This wonderful old vine Malbec is made from two of their historic vineyards - one planted in 1927, the other in 1915. An emblematic facet of the Bodegas Lopez style is that the reds are aged in very large and very old French oak vessels from Nancy. This aging process gives them an aesthetic link to the old world. Instead of the modern, fruit-bomb style typically found in this area, the Lopez wines offer a style and elegance that is rare for Argentina. Wine of ruby red color, bright, with intense aromas of red fruit, raisins, and subtle touches of wood; its tannins are smooth and unctuous. Harmonic, balanced and long, jammy finish in the mouth.
