Cinco Fincas Malbec is a particularly approachable Argentinian red, offering generous blackberry and plum flavours without the weight or firm structure sometimes associated with Malbec. Its gentle tannins, soft acidity and lighter feel make it an inviting choice for anyone who enjoys ripe, dark fruit but prefers a smoother drinking experience.
Easy to enjoy on its own or alongside everyday meals, Cinco Fincas has an appealing softness that makes it especially versatile. A rewarding choice for relaxed evenings, sharing with friends or introducing someone to Malbec, particularly if they find more powerful red wines a little demanding.
Having tasted Cinco Fincas ourselves, we'd particularly recommend it to customers who enjoy Malbec but dislike noticeable tannins or acidity. Its gentle character is what makes it stand out for us: you still get the ripe black-fruit flavours associated with Argentinian Malbec, but in a softer, less demanding style.
Nose: Inviting aromas of ripe blackberry and plum, with a generous dark-fruit character.
Palate: Smooth blackberry and plum flavours, with gentle tannins, restrained acidity and a lighter feel than many Argentinian Malbecs.
Finish: Soft and fruit-led, with lingering dark berries and very little tannic grip.
Cinco Fincas shows a softer, more approachable side of Argentinian Malbec. Although the grape is often associated with richly concentrated reds, this wine places greater emphasis on easy-drinking fruit character and gentle structure.
Its ripe blackberry and plum flavours provide the familiar appeal of Malbec, while the restrained acidity and particularly gentle tannins make the wine feel smooth and welcoming. The result is a red that delivers satisfying fruit flavour without requiring the drinker to enjoy powerful tannins or considerable weight.
Cinco Fincas is a versatile choice for everyday meals. Try it with burgers, grilled chicken, pasta with tomato-based sauces or homemade pizza. Its gentle tannins also make it suitable for lighter meat dishes that might be overwhelmed by a more powerful red.
It's equally enjoyable without food, making it a good option for a relaxed glass in the evening. Serve at around 16–18°C; a little cooler can be particularly pleasant if you prefer a fresher, fruit-led style.
