This wine comes from a small winery whose founders, with much hard work and creativity, turned a remote, high-altitude, arid landscape into an artisanal wine-making project. It produces single-vineyard wines where the high-quality grapes are carefully tended and harvested by hand. At the same time, high-tech gadgetry is employed for data-driven results, and the winery is solar powered! In addition to their vineyards, the farm has 40 ha of almond trees, as well as olive trees and other complementary trees and plants.

Origin: Barrancas, Maipú, Mendoza, Argentina.

Aging: Not aged in oak. Four months in bottle.

Alcohol: 14.1%.

Tasting Notes: This is a fruit-forward, very typical Malbec notable also for its freshness. On the nose it recalls aromas of red and black fruits and dried fruits. There are also notes of white flowers like jasmine and violets. On the palate it is unctuous and friendly, with good acidity, roundness and fullness.

Food Pairing: Earthy, tangy, savory dishes like slow-cooked pulled pork, lamb or beef stew, mushrooms and sausage with a bit of spiciness.

Serving Temperature: 15° to 18°C or slightly cooler than room temperature.
