Benegas Estate Malbec 2022

Get to know: Benegas Estate Malbec

Tasting Note

Benegas Estate Malbec 2022 is exactly the sort of bottle that reminds you why Argentine Malbec became such a global favourite in the first place. Rich, generous and beautifully polished, this is a modern Mendoza red wine with layers of dark fruit, silky texture, and just enough freshness to keep you reaching for another glass. Made from fruit grown on high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza’s famed Uco Valley and Cruz de Piedra, this Malbec combines ripe blackberry and plum fruit with floral lift, mineral freshness, and subtle spice from French oak ageing. 

Top food pairings:

  • Roast lamb with rosemary and garlic
  • Chargrilled ribeye steak and chimichurri
  • Slow-cooked beef shin or rich mushroom ragu
Kate Says

"All you would expect from a big Malbec and more. Big intense fruit of course, but there's depth and breadth too and really good freshness throughout. It can age for a few years if you can resist it."

Producer Info

Benegas is one of the great historic names in Argentine wine, with roots stretching back to the late 1800s when Don Tiburcio Benegas helped pioneer winemaking in Mendoza. Today, Federico Benegas Lynch continues that legacy, restoring historic vineyards and crafting elegant wines that showcase the incredible potential of high-altitude Argentine terroir. Vineyards in Gualtallary and Cruz de Piedra benefit from warm sunny days, cool mountain nights, and stony soils that help produce Malbec with both concentration and freshness – the signature of great Mendoza wine.

How it’s made:

  • Varieties: 100% Malbec
  • Grapes harvested from estate vineyards in Gualtallary, Valle de Uco, and Cruz de Piedra in Mendoza
  • Pre-fermentation cold maceration to enhance colour and aromatic intensity
  • Temperature-controlled fermentation followed by extended skin contact for texture and structure
  • Aged for 8–10 months in French oak barrels to add complexity and refinement

Good to know:

  • Style: Red, still, full-bodied

Why we love it:

This Mendoza Malbec delivers everything we want from a great Argentine red wine – ripe dark fruit, velvety texture, subtle spice, and brilliant balance. It’s rich enough for hearty food, polished enough for a special occasion, and approachable enough to simply enjoy with good company.
