Funckenhausen La Espera Malbec/Syrah (2024)
Wine Tasting Notes
Funckenhausen's 2024 La Espera blends 60% Malbec with 40% Syrah, showing a vivid purple hue and an aromatic nose of raspberry, ripe plum, black pepper and a hint of vanilla. The palate is soft and friendly on entry, with medium body, powdery tannins and bright acidity that keeps it lively. A fresh, peppery finish courtesy of the Syrah makes it a natural partner for barbecue, sausages or pizza.
Winery/Producer Highlights
Bodega Funckenhausen — Funckenhausen farms its own vineyards in San Rafael, a high, sunny corner of southern Mendoza cooled by mountain air at night. The La Espera Varietales range comes from sandy-loam parcels chosen for aromatic, balanced fruit with natural acidity. Fermented in temperature-controlled tanks with only a light touch of oak, this blend is made to highlight youthful fruit and drinkability.
