Susana Balbo Crios Malbec 2023
Vintage Character
The 2023 vintage of Susana Balbo Crios Malbec from Mendoza showcases the vibrant character and modern appeal of Argentina’s signature grape. Benefiting from a warm, sunny growing season with cool nights, the wines of this year display ripe fruit and lively acidity, resulting in excellent balance and freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this Malbec opens with expressive aromas of blackberry, plum, and delicate violet, complemented by subtle spice and mocha notes from gentle oak aging. On the palate, it is juicy and medium-bodied, with supple tannins and flavors of dark cherry, blueberry, and a hint of pepper, leading to a smooth, elegant finish. Its versatility makes it an ideal partner for dishes such as grilled lamb chops, mushroom risotto, or a savory Chinese beef stir-fry, and it pairs beautifully with aged Gouda for a refined cheese option.
Winery Background
Founded by Susana Balbo, Argentina’s first female oenologist, Susana Balbo Wines has earned a reputation as one of the country’s most innovative and respected producers. The winery is committed to sustainable vineyard practices in the high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza, where abundant sunlight and cool mountain breezes help produce grapes of remarkable concentration and freshness. Emphasizing a philosophy that blends tradition with creativity, Susana Balbo’s hands-on approach and dedication to quality have established the Crios range as a benchmark for accessible, expressive Argentine wines that reflect the unique spirit of their origin.
