Resumen:
Fifty-six Malbec wines from seven Argentine viticulture regions (Valles
Calchaquíes, Mendoza del Este, Mendoza del Sur, Patagonia, Alto Río
Mendoza, Valle de Uco and San Juan), of the 2004 vintage, were evaluated by
sensory descriptive analysis using a panel of 10 not-sighted assessors. Noncommercial
samples were obtained using standardized conditions, not aging
and produced with grapes corresponding to each viticulture region. Malbec
wines from same regions exhibited particular characteristics. Valles Calchaquíes
wines had strong herbal, spicy, sweet pepper aromas and pungency
in contrast to San Juan wines that showed fruity, strawberry, honey and citrus
aromas. Mendoza del Este and Valle de Uco wines were associated with
cooked fruit, raisin, floral and sweetness attributes as opposed to Mendoza del
Sur and Patagonia wines which were characterized by sourness, bitterness,
persistency and astringency, and not by aroma attributes. Alto Río Mendoza
wines were characterized by pungency, sweet pepper and bitterness.
