This textbook Uco Valley Malbec (…) marries fruit from Paraje Altamira and Gualtallary, with the resulting blend fermented in concrete and aged in large untoasted foudres. Sappy and mineral with notes of white pepper, red and black fruits, appealing freshness and a spicy finish, this is all about flavour rather than oak. 2021-26”

Product Description:

"Tasting Notes: Made with selected grapes from vineyards located in the highlands of the Uco Valley; the vines are rooted in limestone soils that grant this Malbec its mineral notes. On the nose, it also shows notes of white pepper, graphite, and red and black fruits. As it spends time in the glass, it unfolds its true character, complex and multilayered. It is fresh in the mouth, with fine-grained tannins and a spicy finish. Its intensity is revealed in its concentrated flavors that remain for a long time in the palate".
