Intense and lively purple color. The nose presents ripe red fruit such as plum and cherry and subtle herbal notes. Approachable and round tannins on the palate, balanced acidity and a fruity finish. Medium-bodied, elegant and fresh, with all the typicity of Malbec from the Uco Valley.

Vineyards

The alluvial soils, originated millions of years ago in the mountain range, are very heterogeneous and have large deposits of stones and minerals.

Vintage

The 2024 harvest in the Uco Valley presented unique challenges and surprises, shaped by an unpredictable climate that defied "cool" or "warm" classifications. Mild spring temperatures, scarce rainfall, and unexpected weather events—like multiple intense zonda winds and damaging frosts—impacted yields, particularly in Gualtallary and San Pablo. Despite a warm, dry summer that suggested an early harvest, ripening progressed slowly, especially for Malbec, reflecting patterns of cooler vintages. Thanks to deep vineyard knowledge, precise parcel monitoring, and hands-on observation, the team harvested each block at its optimal point of maturity, achieving wines that retain freshness, structure, and a faithful expression of each site’s character.

Winemaking

The grapes were destemmed and crushed. It underwent a cold maceration for 5-7 days before classic vinification with native yeasts and fermented at 77°F (25-27°C). They were then macerated for 20 days with periodic pumping over and delestage. Part of the wine was aged in French oak barrels.
