The E’s Vino Malbec pours a brilliant ruby red with subtle violet highlights. Mouthwatering aromas of red berry and stone fruits explode from the glass accented with notes of lavender, crushed stone and spice. The medium-bodied palate is juicy and fresh with an abundance of vibrant flavors of raspberry, cherry and red plum.

Perfect with a steak and BBQ meats both in spicy and sweet sauces but also pairs well with rich pasta dishes.

The Pioneer estate winery is based in Gualtallary one of the highest districts in the Uco Valley, Mendoza at around 1200m above sea level. It was founded by Roberto Luka in 1997, naming it after his partner’s daughter Sophia and his daughter Eugenia. The sheer height means the vineyards experience abundant sun during the day and much cooler nights. This, combined with sandy and stony soils, ensures a long growing season for ripe fruit and a refreshing acidity for expressive and elegant wines that stand out. They are certified sustainable and have now been confirmed organic which will mean wines from 2023 onwards are certified.

Raspberry and aromatic fruity notes blend with nutmeg and cinnamon. It's medium-bodied, with cinnamon, chocolate, plums and cherries framed by plush tannins. -J.V.
