Winemaker Notes

The 2018 vintage of Antigal UNO Malbec offers delicious plum, strawberry, and blackberry flavors with enticing hints of violets, vanilla, and milk chocolate. Brightened by carefully protected natural acidity, this violet-red wine has a silky texture and provides an agreeably persistent finish.

Professional Ratings

  • 91

    Leather, black plum and cassis aromas carry the nose of this wine. The full-bodied palate brings jammy blackberry and cassis flavors that reflect a high quality vintage, while the steady finish is nicely complex. Drink through 2022.

  • 91

    Deep garnet color and a rich, aromatic nose. Silky and fresh, with tangy, succulent style; notes of blackberry and spice; and good depth. A charming Malbec at a great price.

    A round, juicy red with plum, chocolate and berry aromas and flavors. Chewy, yet caressing with a long, flavorful finish. Hints of biscuits and balsamic. Drink now.

Antigal Winery Video

 Antigal Winery was established on the site of a historic winery in Maipú, Mendoza - Argentina, whose origin dates back to 1897. For this reason, the winery was named "Antigal"; it is a creole word that means "very old". With its completed refurbishment, the winery achieved the very best in high-tech functionality while respecting colonial architecture's original appearance.

The vineyards located at the Andes Mountain range foothills are uniquely planned relative to their terroir, elevation, and topography, obtaining the highest quality grapes.

The wines have been under the dedicated supervision of winemaker, Miriam Gomez. She is one of Argentina's most talented and accomplished winemakers. Her passion and dedication are reflected through all stages of winemaking, resulting in unusually elegant wines.

Celebrated for its bold flavors and supple texture, Malbec has enjoyed runaway success in Argentina since the late 20th century. The grape originated in Bordeaux, France, where it historically contributed color and tannin to blends. A French agronomist, who saw great potential for the variety in Mendoza’s hot, high-altitude landscape, brought Malbec to Argentina in 1868. Somm Secret—If you’re trying to please a crowd, Malbec is generally a safe bet with its combination of dense fruit and soft tannins.

Argentina

By far the largest and best-known winemaking province in Argentina, Mendoza is responsible for over 70% of the country’s enological output. Set in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, the climate is dry and continental, presenting relatively few challenges for viticulturists during the growing season. Mendoza, divided into several distinctive sub-regions, including Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, is the source of some of the country’s finest wines.

For many wine lovers, Mendoza is practically synonymous with Malbec. Originally a Bordelaise variety brought to Argentina by the French in the mid-1800s, here it found success and renown that it never knew in its homeland where a finicky climate gives mixed results. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Pinot Noir are all widely planted here as well (and sometimes even blended with each other or Malbec). Mendoza's main white varieties include Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
