Bodega Lagarde Guarda Malbec / 2021 / 75cl

Bodega Lagarde’s Guarda Malbec 2021 channels the pedigree of one of Mendoza’s oldest estates, founded in 1897 and long rooted in the prime soils of Luján de Cuyo. The Guarda range is built around meticulous parcel selection, and this vintage shows exactly why: it opens with a vivid rush of plum and blueberry, lifted by hints of dried blood orange, cardamom, and subtle spicy herbs.

On the palate, the wine is medium‑ to full‑bodied, carrying a ripe, supple core of dark fruit framed by soft, velvety tannins that feel very much in tune with the region’s reputation for elegance. The finish lingers with a berry‑forward glow, making this a polished, quietly confident expression of Luján de Cuyo Malbec from a producer that has spent more than a century refining its craft.
