Rare. Refined. Rooted in Over a Century of Mendoza’s Finest Vines.

This isn’t just Malbec. This is Malbec with memory.
The 2014 Canal Flores Malbec from Spielmann Estates is a deep dive into the historic heart of Luján de Cuyo, where vines planted over 100 years ago still pump out bold, expressive fruit. Aged, elegant, and endlessly drinkable, this is a bottle for those who appreciate a little legacy in their glass.

🏆 92 Points – Wine Spectator

“Powerful and elegant… deep fruit, floral tones, and layers of oak. Rich, textured, and beautifully balanced.”

🍷 Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep ruby with sultry violet undertones.

• Nose: Blackberries, ripe plum, violets, vanilla, and a kiss of oak spice.

• Palate: Full-bodied, with rich flavors of blackberry, leather, tobacco, and a subtle thread of dark chocolate. Fine-grained tannins glide across the palate like velvet.

• Finish: Long, polished, and quietly powerful, with spice, cocoa, and elegance that lingers.

🌊 The Legacy of Canal Flores

This Malbec is born in Calle Cobos, Luján de Cuyo — one of Argentina’s most iconic wine-growing zones. The vineyard is fed by the historic Canal Flores, and its old vines (some dating back to 1910!) produce fruit with rare depth and soul.

Crafted by Spielmann Estates, this vintage is all about small production, high elevation (1,000+ meters), and absolute respect for terroir. Aged for 9 months in French oak, it delivers complexity without pretension.
