VIEWRuby red

NOSEIt presents aromas of blueberries and blackberries, accompanied by subtle floral and licorice notes.

MouthIt has an intense and kind body at the same time, with a finish of elegant and round tannins.

Ribeye or SirloinThe juicy texture of these cuts and the smoky touch of the grill are very well balanced with the wine's structure.

T-bone or TomahawkIts intensity and fatness need a red with character and firm tannins, like this Malbec.

Oxtail cannelloniThe richness of the stew and the depth of the filling are enhanced by the wine's fruity and spicy profile.

TatakiThe floral notes of the wine and its acidity balance the raw point of the tataki and enhance the umami.

Vacuum BriocheThe juiciness of the meat and its sauces, along with the sweetness of the bread, blend harmoniously with the Malbec.

Grilled sweetbreadsIts texture and intense flavor provide a good counterpoint to the wine's freshness and finish.

Beef empanadaClassic pairing where the spicy notes of the stuffing highlight the black fruit of the Malbec.

A Malbec that embodies the essence of the Uco Valley

From the calcareous soils of Paraje Altamira, in the heart of the Uco Valley (Mendoza), at 1,150 meters above sea level, one of the winery's most emblematic wines is born: a Malbec of the highest expression, with character, elegance, and a profoundly Argentine identity.

La cosecha 2022 nos entrega una cuidada combinación de 96% Malbec y 4% Petit Verdot, vendimiada manualmente y fermentada con levaduras seleccionadas a un máximo de 28 °C. Tras una maceración prolongada de 35 días con conservación sobre lías y battonage, el vino reposa 13 meses en barricas de roble francés —30% nuevas y 70% de segundo uso—, ganando complejidad, textura y profundidad.

A modern and refined Malbec, ideal for those seeking to enjoy the maximum potential of this variety in its most celebrated home.
