Ah, Parra Alta Malbec<\/strong> – brambly, full bodied and jammy. You\u2019re everything I look for in an easy drinking red, and yet, if you know where to look, there are better wines to be had<\/a>. Better!? Oh yes. If your palette is anything like mine, you\u2019ll love to read about these fruitier, fuller bodied answers to Parra Alta Malbec<\/strong> just dying to be drunk right now.<\/p>\n

What Makes Parra Alta Malbec So Good?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Growing conditions in Argentina are excellent. The areas under vine are essentially desert, which keeps the plants stressed enough to produce fruit, and the dry conditions make rot, mildew and diseases rare. Growers<\/a> can take water from streams that come from the Andes. What\u2019s more, the vineyards are at a fairly high altitude, which means the vines get lots of sunlight while the temperatures remain cool. As a result, the grapes can build tonnes of flavour.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, Argentina has benefited from Spanish winegrowers<\/a>. Lots of wine makers have settled in Argentina over the years, bringing their knowledge and European grapes varieties with them.<\/p>\n

Yet the brand \u2018Parra Alta\u2019 is merely named after the method of growing vines up away from hot Argentinian soil. Indeed, Malbec tends to be grown in this manner in the country, due to the scorching climate. Given that, there are better examples of full bodied, fruity reds being made.<\/p>\n

Alternatives You Really Need to Know About:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first two alternatives will go down a treat with football fans. Leo Messi, professional footballer at FC Barcelona and captain of the Artgentine side, has helped to produce the two following Malbecs. You may prefer them just because of the footballing connection (unless you follow AC Milan). Yet they also taste rather lovely too, and some of the profits go to the Leo Messi Foundation.
