San Felipe Malbec
The San Felipe Malbec 750ml is a bold yet approachable red wine from Mendoza, Argentina, delivered to Nairobi by Frontdoor Kenya. Produced by Bodega La Rural, a historic winery founded in 1885 by Italian immigrant Felipe Rutini, this 100% Malbec showcases the region’s renowned terroir with a fruit-forward style. Ideal for hearty dinners, festive gatherings like Easter, or as a standout gift, its deep color and balanced flavor make it a favorite for Nairobi’s wine lovers, whether for a cozy night in or a lively celebration.
Savor a Rich Flavor Profile of San Felipe Malbec
San Felipe Malbec captivates with a deep ruby-red color and purplish undertones, revealing aromas of blackberry, raspberry jam, and floral violet notes, typical of Mendoza Malbec. On the palate, it’s medium- to full-bodied with a 13.5% ABV, offering juicy red fruit flavors—cherry, blueberry, and plum—balanced by soft tannins and a touch of spice. Matured in stainless steel tanks to preserve its expressive fruit, it delivers a fresh, elegant finish that’s easy to enjoy. Serve at 16°C, ideally in a large red wine glass, to enhance its vibrant character, perfect for Nairobi’s warm evenings.
Pairings to Elevate Your Meals
This Malbec pairs beautifully with robust dishes. Enjoy it with grilled steak, Argentine-style asado, or red meat stews to highlight its fruity depth. It also complements Nairobi’s local cuisine, like nyama choma or spicy goat curry, adding richness to every bite. For cheese lovers, pair it with blue cheese or aged cheddar to bring out its fruitiness. Hosting a barbecue or dinner party? This wine’s versatility shines.

Crafted in Mendoza’s Heart
Bodega La Rural, located in Maipú, Mendoza, is a cornerstone of Argentine winemaking, blending tradition with modern innovation. The San Felipe Malbec is crafted from hand-harvested grapes in Maipú’s high-altitude vineyards (900-1,100 meters), where sunny days and cool nights enhance Malbec’s acidity and aroma. After gentle destemming, the grapes ferment at 25-28°C with selected yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften tannins. Unlike oak-aged Malbecs, this wine matures in stainless steel to emphasize its pure fruit character, ensuring a fresh, approachable style. This process, refined since the winery’s technological upgrades in the 1990s, delivers consistent quality, earning praise on platforms like Vivino for its “jammy yet structured” profile.
