Brasero Malbec 2021

In Argentina, grilling is a national pastime, and locals take it very seriously. Inspired by this tradition, Brasero is a bold Argentine Malbec that’s perfect for anything you can cook on the grill.

What’s the story behind the name? A brasero is a traditional feature of Argentine grills. In short, it’s a special fire basket where wood or charcoal burns until the embers are ready to heat the food. This allows the pitmasters greater control over the temperature, ensuring that each cut of meat cooks to juicy perfection.

And when it’s time to make a plate, they reach for a glass of Malbec. This delicious example hails from Argentina’s San Juan region, which lies just north of Mendoza at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. The warm, arid climate helps grapes develop seriously intense, concentrated flavors—especially during an “extraordinary” vintage like 2021 (Decanter).

Brasero overflows with vibrant dark fruit and smoky spice notes, plus firm, food-friendly tannins and a long, smooth finish. Order your share of this lovely Malbec and prepare to fire up the grill!
