Funckenhausen La Espera Terroir's Signature Malbec (2023)
Wine Tasting Notes
The 2023 Terroir's Signature pours a deep, inky violet and opens with black plum, cassis and raspberry framed by a lift of fresh herbs and cracked pepper. Its texture is plush and velvety, with ripe tannins giving a confident structure to the dark-fruited core. The finish is long and polished, making it an excellent match for grilled steak, lamb or hearty empanadas.

Winery/Producer Highlights
Bodega Funckenhausen — Bodega Funckenhausen is a family-run winery in San Rafael, in the cooler southern reaches of Mendoza. The Terroir's Signature tier is built from a hand-picked selection of the estate's best parcels in the 25 de Mayo district, farmed under a dedicated vineyard protocol. Sandy-loam soils and wide day-night temperature swings help the Malbec keep its vivid aromatics and freshness.
