Fabre Montmayou Barrel Selection Malbec 2022

Fabre was one of the pioneers in showing the world the qualities of Río Negro. Since the mid-1990s this winery has been making wines in Allén, beside the banks of the Negro River. This comes from vineyards that are about 30 years old. 60% of the wine was aged in barrels for a year, and the rest, in concrete for a similar time. It’s a wine that offers the classic notes of blue fruits, like a bowl of blueberries, it’s juicy and fresh, the texture is very smooth, the acidity is friendly, and the flavors are deep. [Drink into early 2030s.] Score – 92. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2024)
