Description
A distinctive Malbec from the pre-Andean slopes of the Canota Valley, this wine reveals a unique expression of Mendoza’s western frontier. On the nose, it opens with fresh red and black fruits — wild cherries, plums, and blackberries — intertwined with delicate notes of herbs, dry earth, and subtle spice. The palate is vibrant and linear, driven by the rocky, mineral soils that give a fine tension and precision to the wine.
Medium to full-bodied, with refined tannins, lively acidity, and a long, persistent finish that balances fruit purity with savory, stony undertones.
Style: Elegant, mineral-driven, and distinctive — a Malbec that speaks of origin more than variety.
