Susana Balbo Wines BenMarco Malbec 2022
Vintage Character
The 2022 BenMarco Malbec from Mendoza exemplifies the vibrant character of high-altitude Argentine Malbec, with fruit sourced from select vineyards in the Uco Valley. The 2022 vintage in Mendoza was marked by a temperate growing season, featuring cool nights and sunny days that fostered balanced ripeness and lively acidity in the grapes.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 91 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this wine opens with an enticing bouquet of ripe blackberry, plum, and violet, complemented by subtle notes of black pepper and cocoa. On the palate, it is plush and concentrated, revealing layers of dark fruit, gentle minerality, and fine-grained tannins that culminate in a persistent, juicy finish. Its food-friendly nature makes it a versatile companion for dishes such as grilled ribeye, mushroom risotto, or mild blue cheese, while Chinese-style braised pork belly offers an intriguing match for its depth and spice.
Winery Background
Susana Balbo Wines, founded by Argentina’s trailblazing winemaker Susana Balbo, is celebrated for its dedication to expressing the authentic character of Mendoza’s terroir. As the first female oenologist in Argentina, Balbo brings a wealth of expertise and innovation to her craft, emphasizing minimal intervention and sustainable vineyard practices. The BenMarco range is distinguished by its site-driven purity, with grapes grown in the stony soils and elevated sites of the Uco Valley, allowing altitude and soil composition to shape each wine’s personality. Susana Balbo’s commitment to quality, transparency, and environmental stewardship has positioned her winery as a benchmark for modern Argentine winemaking, consistently delivering wines that capture the soul of the region.
