Trivento Golden Reserve 2018
Description
Trivento Golden Reserve 2018 — Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, 14% ABV. The winery's flagship single-varietal Malbec, sourced exclusively from old-vine plots at 950–980 m.a.s.l. — one of Mendoza's most celebrated Malbec elevations. Independently scored at over 90 points across multiple consecutive vintages, Golden Reserve earns its premium positioning through consistent critical recognition. Deep carmine in the glass; the nose is layered — sharp red cherry, plum, and cassis, with well-integrated oak spice and a violet-floral lift characteristic of high-altitude Luján Malbec. Full-bodied on the palate, with vibrant, well-structured tannins and a long, juicy finish. Decant 30–45 minutes for full expression.
On-trade positioning: The step-up Malbec for venues carrying the Trivento Reserve and wanting a premium tier. The 90-point credentials give the floor team a credible story for table upsell. Best suited to steak restaurants and premium casual dining as a wine-list anchor; pairs with grilled red meats, aged cheeses, and hearty South American cuisine. A single-varietal 90+ Malbec at a trade-viable price point is rare — position it clearly above the Reserve tier with 2–3 lines of menu copy to justify the step.
