One of Argentina's top producers of Malbec from low yielding, ungrafted vines from 3 vineyards sites in Mendoza at around 980 metres elevation. A concentrated wine, but not at all heavy: framed with fresh acidity and vibrant fruit of dark blueberries, raspberry and dark chocolate.

The Country
Argentina
Argentina has established its reputation in the wine world based on its superb Malbecs, but is far from being a one trick pony. It is a country with wide variations in climate from the high altitude sites of Salta, some now exceeding 3,000 metres, to the valleys of Mendoza where 15% ABV Malbecs are not uncommon.
The cooler regions are making some interesting wines from Cabernet Franc, and if there were a candidate for the country's flagship white variety, the highly aromatic Torrontes would be a strong contender.
