Susana Balbo, Signature Malbec, 2023
Susana Balbo became Argentina's first female winemaker in 1981, and she has spent a career arguing that Malbec can be about elegance rather than brute force. This Signature bottling is her personal statement. The grapes come from high-altitude mountain sites, including limestone-rich soils in the Uco Valley, hand-picked at about 1,150 meters (3,770 feet) where the cool nights preserve freshness and lift. The result is a Malbec built on violets, dark berries, and a savory, mineral edge instead of jammy heaviness. Aged in French oak that stays in the background, it's polished but still full of energy. A benchmark from a true pioneer.
