La Fusta Malbec

Dark plum, warm spice, and a hint of violet make La Fusta Malbec feel instantly inviting, the kind of Argentine red wine that brings depth and comfort to the table. With an alcohol by volume of 13.50%, this Malbec from Argentina typically shows juicy blackberry, ripe cherry, soft tannins, and a touch of cocoa or pepper, making it a natural match for the savory richness of Steak or the spiced, pastry-wrapped comfort of Empanadas. Producer Information: La Fusta La Fusta is a Catalan drinks producer rooted in Spain’s Mediterranean aperitif culture, with its identity shaped around Tarragona and the old local tradition of aromatized wines. Founded as a wood-focused vermouth project, its name, meaning “the wood” in Catalan, reflects a production style built on macerated botanicals, oxidative depth, and careful barrel ageing rather than simple sweetness. The house is associated with vermouths that show wine character first, layered with herbs, spice, citrus peel, and bitter roots, giving it a clear place in the Spanish vermut category. Beyond its core vermouth bottlings, La Fusta is also linked with aperitif-style wines and barrel-aged expressions that highlight regional grapes, Mediterranean botanicals, and the textured, slightly bitter profile prized in Catalan bar culture.
