Indulge in a higher level of Mendozan craftsmanshipBodegas Penedo de Borgesâ€?‘Icono’cuv�e: a luxurious, ultra-premium, malbec-led blend of only the finest micro-vinification batches they achieve per harvest.

Here, the 2020 vintage â€?is an opulent, beautifully textured expression of Mendozas signature varietal (85%), but with a splash of cabernets franc and sauvignon, petit verdot, and syrah. One that Master of Wine Tim Atkin has since found to be ‘pretty impressive,â€?/em> and in which renowned critic James Suckling admires a delicious ‘dark chocolatey character with black fruit, vanilla, pinewood and hazelnuts.â€?/em>

Together, an assemblage from the estates 48-hectare single vineyard in the exclusive, Alto Agrelo, Luj�n de Cuyo (Mendoza), where 1,050 metres of cooler altitude above sea level ensures a refreshing vibrancy to balance opulence and enliven complexity.

For such premium quality, craftsmanship and finesse, Icono at this price point represents not only the essence of Penedo de Borges but outstanding value for money, too.
