Description:
The most recognised and well-known female oenologist in Argentina, Susana Balbo has been instrumental in the transformation of quality table wines in Argentinean viticulture. She is best known for her innovation and progressive spirit in developing wines with unique character and quality, and she is the first Argentinean oenologist ever hired as a consultant by European wineries. At Susana Balbo Wines, her family's winery in the famed Mendoza wine region of Argentina, Susana crafts her own signature label wines. They embody the complexity of various grapes along with her creativity as an oenologist to produce fine wines that express prestige, power and finesse.
The Nosotros line celebrates the efforts of all the people who work daily to make this wine. It is a representation of the best that Balbo wines can accomplish as a team, as a family.
Each vintage, Susana and her winemaking team chooses the best quality grape from a specific vineyard to create Nosotros, one of the few ultra-premium Argentine Malbecs that can boast impressive power with incredible balance and refined structure.
Only a limited quantity of Nosotros is made each year, therefore every bottle is special and unique. It is considered the winery's selection of selections. Wine collectors must have a bottle in their cellar.
99/100 Points - James Suckling
"Classy and layered nose, showing minty blackberries, black sour cherries, cassis, cigars and minerals, following through to cocoa powder and fine-tuned balsamic savouriness. A medium-to full-bodied red with wonderful freshness, juicy fruit and poise on the palate. Incredibly long, focused and immaculate. Really well-rounded, complex and persistent. Real harmony and length."
