The wine brings freshness to the intensity of the dish.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▫ Oxtail
It works from the structure, although here the wine expresses itself more from elegance than from power.
This Malbec was born in Finca Altamira, where the altitude and chalky soils define a more tense and precise style.
The high presence of calcium carbonate and stone limits the vigor of the vines, resulting in more concentrated grapes with a more marked natural acidity. In addition, the thermal amplitude of the Uco Valley allows for slow ripening and preserves freshness.
Cold maceration for 5 days favors a clean aromatic extraction, while fermentation in concrete eggs provides texture without interfering with the expression of terroir.
Aging in French and concrete oak barrels for 16 months refines the tannins and maintains the balance between structure and purity.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A Malbec defined by precision of place rather than power.
