The Guarda 2020 is a bold and complex Malbec with intense dark fruit flavours of blackberry and plum, aromas of
violets, and a hint of smokiness. It has a rich and full-bodied palate with
notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and a touch of vanilla. The tannins are smooth
yet firm, providing a well-structured and impressively lingering finish. This wine pairs
excellently with grilled meats and hearty stews, and it's an excellent choice
for those who appreciate a robust yet finely balanced Malbec.
