  8. Serving Temperature:

    • It is best served slightly below room temperature, around 16-18°C (60-65°F), to enhance its aromatic profile and balance its flavors.

    • Oveja Malbec has good aging potential, typically improving in the bottle over the next 5 to 7 years. However, it can also be enjoyed young for its vibrant fruit characteristics.

This wine is an excellent example of the quality and character that Malbec can achieve in the unique terroir of the Uclés region, making it a great choice for both casual wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
