1977 Weinert Malbec Estrella: The Age-worthy Wine Every Collector Desires

The 1977 Weinert Malbec Estrella is a wine that marked a pivotal moment in Argentina’s winemaking history. It was one of the first Malbecs to undergo long aging, helping shift the focus toward this iconic grape. Before its rise, Argentina’s vineyards were dominated by Bonarda, with 65% of the country's production in the early 90s. This exceptional wine, aged for 9 years in large 5800L French oak barrels and bottled in 1994, represents the foundation of modern Malbec excellence.

This aged wine requires decanting to reveal its full complexity. Once decanted, it unveils intense aromas of dark fruit, rich notes of blackberries, plums, and hints of dried herbs, with further layers of cedarwood and subtle oak spices. On the palate, it showcases a full-bodied structure with smooth, well-integrated tannins, complemented by flavors of blackberry, plum, and tobacco, leading to a long, elegant finish. The wine’s mature complexity offers a harmonious balance of power and finesse.

This wine is not just a drink; it’s an experience. Perfect for collectors, it holds the promise of further aging, but it can already be enjoyed today with the right decanting. Whether displayed in your cellar or shared with fellow enthusiasts, the 1977 Weinert Malbec Estrella is a true testament to the artistry of Argentine winemaking
