The wine
Named for the old King's Highway through the Andean foothills, this is Mendoza Malbec at its most welcoming. Inviting aromas of plum jam lead to a fresh, juicy palate with a rich, gently smoky finish. Well balanced and generously fruited, it simply gets on with the job. Midweek steak, burgers and pizza have found their wine.
The producer
El Camino
View all El Camino winesEl 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.
