Kaiken Malbec Clásico 2022 is a textbook Mendoza Malbec - bursting with ripe blackberries, juicy plums, and a lick of dark chocolate and spice from a gentle touch of oak. It’s smooth, full-bodied, and velvety, with soft tannins that make it dangerously easy to drink. There’s a little coffee and mocha in there too, adding richness without ever getting heavy. Think silky fruit, a savoury edge, and a fresh finish that keeps you coming back for more.
Perfect food pairings:
It’s a proper crowd-pleaser - bold enough for a steak, but balanced enough to work with veggie dishes, too. Great for when you want a smooth, full-bodied red wine from Argentina that ticks all the boxes.
"Kaiken Malbec is a staple in our range, it always stands out in blind tastings because it's smooth and velvety and just a really pleasing style of wine. Malbec is still super popular and it's down to wines like this."
Kaiken takes its name from the wild geese that cross the Andes between Chile and Argentina – a journey mirrored by founder Aurelio Montes when he established the winery in Mendoza in 2002. With estate vineyards in Agrelo and the Uco Valley, Kaiken has become one of Argentina’s most respected producers, known for Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and pioneering Cabernet Franc. In 2024, Kaiken was named New World Producer of the Year by the Sommelier Wine Awards and proudly achieved B-Corp certification, reflecting its commitment to sustainability and responsible winemaking.
This Mendoza Malbec offers superb value for its quality – ripe, plush fruit, a touch of oak, and a silky mouthfeel. It’s a versatile choice for grilled meats, hearty stews, or simply enjoying with friends over good conversation.
