Product Notes

Achaval Ferrer Finca Bella Vista Malbec is a stunning Argentine wine that has gained global recognition and a loyal following. The wine is produced from a single vineyard, sitting at an altitude of 1100 meters, and showcasing the unique terroirs of the Mendoza region. The deep, dark color of the wine betrays its intensity, revealing a diverse range of aromas like blackberries, plum, vanilla, and a hint of spice. The palate is complex, with a rich texture and elegant tannins. This wine balances a wonderful acidity, which ensures that it is suitable for aging. Achaval Ferrer Finca Bella Vista Malbec is distinctively Mendoza, representing Argentina's claim to global wine excellence.

Tasting Notes

Bella Vista on the nose is savoury and intriguing. Dark fruit comes through on agitation, combined with red fruit and floral refreshment. Super silky, the tannins meld seamlessly within layers of ripe, bright berries - a stunning ambassador for Mendoza, crying out for great food - a fine example of how power can balance with elegance.

The three vineyards from where grapes are sourced for the brand’s labels are”

Finca Mirador

Located in the Medrano area of Mendoza, this vineyard was planted in 1921 at a height of 700m above sea level. This 4-hectare vineyard on the Tunuyan river bank, is dominated by alluvial soils. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted varietal here. However, there is also a small plot of Malbec varietal found on these vineyards.

Finca Bella Vista

Here, vines were planted in 1910 at a height of 990m above sea level. This vineyard, located on the banks of the Mendoza River in Medrano, covers an area of 7 hectares. It is mainly planted with Malbec varietals; however, you can also find small parcels of Syrah. One of the heart-warming sights of this vineyard is the presence of historical museums and monuments all along the 1 way. 

Finca Altamira

This 12-hectare vineyard is located in La Consulta in Valle de Uco in the Mendoza region. Here, vines were planted in 1950 at a height of about 1050m above sea level. The entire vineyard is planted with Malbec vines. This is an award-winning vineyard, as the limited-edition wine of Finca Altamira won five Decanter Stars. Thus, Achaval Ferrer became the first winery in Argentina to be given this award. While alluvial soils dominate this region, the volcanic sediments from the Tupuganto volcano also lend natural fertility to this region, making the wines intense and classy.
