Sensory Description:

Deep violet in the glass, the wine opens with a complex bouquet of ripe red and dark fruits—blackberry, plum, and raspberry—lifted by subtle hints of spice, leather, and smoked meat. On the palate, the texture is generous and full-bodied, offering flavors of fruit preserves, peppered beef, and a whisper of earthy tobacco. Its firm yet supple tannins and a long, velvety finish leave a lasting impression of power and polish.

Winemaker's Background:

Tilia is more than a wine—it is a movement grounded in sustainability, cultural respect, and environmental stewardship. Named after the Tilia (linden) tree, a symbol of vitality and community in rural Mendoza, the winery is dedicated to supporting local livelihoods, promoting biodiversity, and honoring traditional farming techniques. Tilia’s vines thrive ungrafted, irrigated by ancient glacial canals, and shielded by time-honored agricultural wisdom. Under the guidance of winemakers who understand their land intimately, Tilia crafts wines that honor Argentina’s past while looking ahead to a sustainable future.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve slightly below room temperature (60–65°F). This expressive red blend shines alongside dishes with bold flavors and spice. Pair it with Szechuan beef noodles, grilled sausages, lamb empanadas, or barbecued ribs. It’s equally compelling with aged cheeses or a rustic charcuterie board.

The 2023 Tilia Malbec-Syrah is a soulful, savory wine that reflects the enduring spirit of Mendoza and the deep connection between people and place. Bold yet balanced, it’s a compelling red for both everyday meals and special occasions.
