is settled in the heart of Vistalba, in the region of Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza and manages 20 hectares, divided in three different vineyards at the foot of the Andes Mountains. They cultivate their grapes using traditional techniques, in order to maintain high quality, ecologically fit grapes. This young and dynamic project is how Matias wants to express the full potential of Argentine Terroirs, combining a high level of technology, the richness of the native soil of their vineyards, and new winemaking in Argentina.
This Malbec is a deep & impenetrable black/dark purple hue. The nose is a fragrant mix of violets, ripe blueberries, blackcurrants and liquorice intermixed with provincial herbal & cedar notes. The wine itself is medium bodied, with rich succulent dark cherry, blueberry and liquorice fruits layered across a palate underpinned by dried herb, inky earth and spice characters. Polished yet sturdy tannins leaning into a long bright blue fruited aftertaste, making for a vibrant and interesting wine.
