From the sun-drenched vineyards of La Consulta in Mendoza's Uco Valley, this Malbec exemplifies the elegance and depth achievable in Argentina's high-altitude terroirs. Harvested manually in the third week of April, the 12-year-old vines yield grapes that are vinified with meticulous care: a cold pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts, and a 25-day maceration period. Notably, 40% of the wine is aged for six months in French oak barrels, adding subtle complexity, before a further three months of bottle aging.
In the glass, it presents a deep, intense red hue. The nose is greeted with aromas of black pepper, green bell pepper, and red fruits. On the palate, it offers a velvety entry with round, juicy tannins, culminating in a balanced and elegant finish.
