Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaThis malbec comes from two vineyards in Cafayate: Finca la Maravilla, at 1700m; and Chañar Punch, at 2000m. It was fermented in stainless steel and concrete, and 75 percent was aged one year in the same vessels, which keeps this malbec fresh and on its toes. The colour is opaque, with blueberries, intense cassis, crushed wild herbs, and a spicy, resiny finish. Best with beef, from steak to empanadas.Tasted: 09 March 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaThis malbec comes off vineyards at Cafayate's Finca la Maravilla (1700m) and Chañar Punch, at 2000m. It was fermented (partial native and partial whole cluster) in a blend of stainless and concrete, before 1 years' rest in a 25/75 older French barrels / stainless steel and concrete. Very ripe and fruit forward, with mouth filling crushed cassis, cherry, and wild blueberry, seasoned with dark chocolate and wild herbs. The velveteen palate is framed with sueded tannins, finishing with alluring sweet spices and a bitter edge. Very well handled and quite complete, ready for cracking into now.Tasted: 02 May 2023Tasted by: Prices:
