El Camino takes its name from the King's Highway, the old road that threads through the foothills of the Andes among some of the most celebrated vineyards in Argentina. It is a label with a single, well-judged purpose: honest, generous Mendoza Malbec at a price that invites a second bottle.
The fruit comes from established vineyards on the Mendoza plain, where relentless sunshine and snowmelt irrigation ripen Malbec with ease. Winemaking keeps things clean and unforced, letting plum-rich fruit and a gentle smokiness do the talking. It is the kind of wine every good merchant needs on the shelf: dependable, characterful and very easy to like.
