Playa Del Sol White Malbec 750ml

Produced in Mendoza, Argentina – the heartland of Malbec – Playa Del Sol is part of a modern wave of innovative winemaking. The grapes are harvested in the early hours to preserve freshness and immediately cold-fermented in stainless steel to retain pure fruit aromas. This wine avoids oak ageing, keeping the profile crisp, clean and ideal for warm-weather sipping.

• Nose: Bright and lifted with citrus blossoms, fresh peach, and a hint of white flowers
• Palate: Crisp acidity balanced by soft stone fruit flavours, lemon zest, and a subtle minerality
• Finish: Clean, dry, and refreshing with lingering floral notes

Food Pairing Suggestions

Perfect with light salads, sushi, grilled prawns, ceviche, and soft cheeses. It also pairs beautifully with spicy Thai or Peruvian cuisine, making it a versatile wine for fusion dishes.

Accolades

While still an emerging category, White Malbecs have been praised by sommeliers for their creativity and approachability. Playa Del Sol has garnered positive attention in local wine fairs across Argentina for its vibrant profile and easy-drinking charm. Although not widely entered in global competitions yet, it is becoming a favourite among wine enthusiasts exploring alternative Malbec expressions.

Did You Know

White Malbec is a relatively new concept born out of Argentina’s desire to innovate beyond the traditional red styles. By using limited skin contact, winemakers unlock a fresh, floral and citrus-led expression of the grape that’s often compared to Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio – but with a uniquely Malbec twist.
