BenMarco Malbec Lujan De Cuyo
A deep purple, the nose is full with aromas of black fruit like plum, blackberry, blueberry with floral notes, white pepper, and clove. The palate is fresh with juicy dark fruit, hints of licorice and cocoa, and subtle earthy spice tones. BenMarco is part of Susana Balbo Wines, founded by Susana Balbo, one of Argentina’s most influential winemakers. The BenMarco range is designed around site expression, with viticulturist Edgardo Del Pópolo emphasizing minimal intervention and the character of specific Mendoza terroirs.
