A wine that does not seek to be the most powerful, but the most faithful: an exact snapshot of a place, a soil, an altitude and a harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade from \u003cstrong\u003e90% Malbec and 10% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/strong\u003e from estate vineyards in \u003cstrong\u003eGualtallary (Tupungato, Valle de Uco)\u003c\/strong\u003e, at an altitude of \u003cstrong\u003e1,470 metres above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e, on \u003cstrong\u003edeep, rocky limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e that give the wine its characteristic freshness and minerality. The grapes come from plots farmed with extreme transparency to reveal the full potential of the new winemaking Argentina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e2023\u003c\/strong\u003e vintage was marked by spring frosts in October-November 2022, which caused a widespread drop in yields and brought the harvest forward by 2 to 4 weeks. The result is \u003cstrong\u003every elegant wines with high natural acidity and moderate alcohol (13.5%)\u003c\/strong\u003e, with excellent ageing potential according to the winery itself. The grapes were picked at four different times depending on the composition of each soil and plot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking shows the utmost respect for the terroir: \u003cstrong\u003efermentation with indigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e at a maximum temperature of 29°C for 20 days, followed by a 15-day infusion with minimal movement. 50% of the wine is fermented as \u003cstrong\u003ewhole bunches\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ageing lasts \u003cstrong\u003e15 months\u003c\/strong\u003e, split between \u003cstrong\u003ecentury-old French oak foudres (50%), barrels (25%) and concrete (25%)\u003c\/strong\u003e, a combination that adds complexity without losing the freshness and identity of the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeep ruby red in colour with violet glints\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the nose, \u003cstrong\u003eexpressive and varietal\u003c\/strong\u003e: blueberries and black cherry give way to notes of dark chocolate, walnuts and a fine, elegant minerality typical of Gualtallary. On the palate, \u003cstrong\u003emedium-bodied with fine, silky tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e, lively and fresh acidity, and a long, slightly mineral and very persistent finish. A serious, subtle and mineral red. \u003cstrong\u003e92 pts James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eServing temperature: 16°C.
