Characteristics
▫ VIEW
Deep, intense red color with violet reflections that speak of concentration and structure.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▫ NOSE
Ripe dark fruit—plum, blackberry—accompanied by herbal notes, spices, and a subtly earthy finish. Complex and restrained profile.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▫ Mouth
Ample, structured, and with weight. Present but polished tannins, acidity that balances the whole, and a deep entry. Long, serious, and persistent finish.
A wine designed for meats with structure, juiciness, and depth, where the balance between fat, intensity, and texture is key.
⭐ Dry-aged beef rib steak
The intensity, fat, and character of the cut find a wine that is on the same level.
Deep, long, and very serious pairing.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⭐ T-Bone / Tomahawk
Large, bone-in, and powerful cuts.
Wine pairs with fat, cleanses, and integrates with the smokiness of the grill.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▫ Oxtail
The syrupy texture and collagen of the stew melt into the structure of the wine.
An enveloping and very gastronomic pairing.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▫ Grilled void
Perfect balance between fiber and fat, ideal for the structure of the wine.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▫ Grilled flank steak
More direct and flavorful, the wine adds depth without saturating.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⭐ Black Angus steak
A well-executed classic, where the wine elevates the dish without overpowering it.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⭐ Black Angus ribeye
The marbling finds a good counterpoint in the wine's tannins.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▫ Grilled sweetbreads
The crisp, fatty texture is balanced by the acidity and structure of the wine.
From a vineyard planted in 1914, this Malbec is born with the weight of the history and identity of Las Compuertas.
An old vineyard, worked organically, where the deep roots and the passage of time give rise to a more complex, more serious and deeper expression.
The combination of cement egg and fudre used allows to build the wine without marking it: texture, controlled oxygenation and balance, without losing purity.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A Malbec where the depth doesn't come from wood... but from the vineyard.
