Winemaker Notes
Intense wine, well-defined profile, deep red hue. Its aromas of ripe red fruits and plum blend with the delicate vanilla notes imparted during its aging in wood. The mouth is elegant, harmonious, intense and has a long finish. It is recommended to decant 30 minutes before tasting to allow appropriate oxygenation. We recommend drinking it with: Red meat (Argentine traditional asado criollo) , beef empanada, pasta with tomato sauces, grilled or roasted chicken, cassouet, grilled or roast pork and/or soft cheese.

Lots of sweet tobacco, plum and dried fruits follow through to a full body, silky tannins and a fresh finish. Toasted oak undertone. A blend of malbec, cabernet franc and petit verdot. Drink now.

Nieto Senetiner is one of Mendoza’s oldest wineries, founded in 1888 when Italian immigrants planted the first vineyards in Vistalba, a sub-region in Mendoza’s primera zona Luján de Cuyo. Since then, Nieto has produced exceptional wines from classic Argentine varietals that thrive in the unique, high altitude terroir of the Andean foothills.
Sourcing fruit from its three long-standing estate vineyards in Luján de Cuyo (Vistalba, Agrelo, and Alto Agrelo) and premier sites in the Uco Valley, today Nieto produces some of Argentina’s most consistently awarded Malbecs.
Nieto’s signature Malbec showcases fruit exclusively from Luján de Cuyo vineyards. Its Don Nicanor wines are produced at the historic winery in Vistalba using fruit selected from sites in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley to create a more elegant and intense Malbec style.
In addition to its rich heritage, Nieto is investing in the future with sustainable winemaking practices, and under the guidance of a young, innovative winemaking team led by Santiago Mayorga and consultant Paul Hobbs.
