Gold-Medal Lineage, Blue-Collar Soul
It’s finally back! It’s been four long years since we last offered the Familia Crotta Malbec, and frankly, we’ve missed it.

Crotta’s is a story of pure hustle. In 1919, a 14-year-old kid named José Eduardo Crotta stepped off a boat in Buenos Aires with nothing but lint in his pockets. Now a wine-empire by comparison, this independent, family-run estate still utilizes extended 20-day macerations and gravity-fed production from their iconic tower. Costly, time-consuming techniques, even for a wine double this price.
Grown in the Valle Verde vineyards hugging the Mendoza River against the stunning backdrop of the Andes, the high-altitude terroir provides extreme diurnal shifts: intense daytime sun builds deep fruit concentration, while freezing nights lock in crucial acidity. This makes for a Malbec that doesn’t need to try too hard. Your $20 goes a very long way here.
This is for all the smokey, bark-laden meats you can possibly pull off the grill. Backed by a Gold-Medal lineage (the critics are waiting to get this in their glass too!), it’s the bottle you open while the steaks are resting, and the one you empty before you even sit down to eat.
