    MAAL Biutiful Malbec - Unadulterated

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: April 3, 2022 Last Updated: January 1, 2023

    An unoaked Malbec that lets the beauty of the grape shine through, the MAAL Biutiful Malbec.

    MAAL Biutiful Malbec - Unadulterated

    100% Malbec from 3,609 feet of altitude in Campo Los Andes, Valle de Uco, Mendoza, Argentina. The wine does not spend any time in oak, has 3.2 g/L of residual sugar and is vegan friendly.

    Sample submitted for review. The MAAL Biutiful Malbec has an SRP of $22 and is available for as low as $17. 79,364 bottles were produced. It is imported by Vineyard Brands.

    From the bottle:

    This is nothing more than extraordinary grapes turned into honest wine. A wine meant to tell about a place, an idea, or a thought. Intervention at the winery is minimal, letting the grapes unleash their potential and pure expression.

    We names this unoaked wine "biutiful", as our reminder that natural beauty needs no "make-up".

    Thank you for helping us make a living from making wine.

    14.5% Alcohol

    The 2019 MAAL Biutiful Malbec opens with aromas of plum and other dark fruit plus some nicely integrated spice and floral notes. It's quite attractive, especially after a couple hours of air.

    Tasting the nicely balanced wine reveals similar flavors to the nose but the fruit tastes fresh and juicy in the mouth. And while it didn't spend any time in oak, it is still dark, quite delicious and even a tad bit meaty.

    It ends dry with a bit of tannic grip on the smooth, long finish. This is a great example of not needing oak to create a compelling, complex wine.
