Emblematic sub-zone of southern Uco Valley (Mendoza, San Carlos, >900 m, alluvio-pebbly clay-loam soils with limestone): Malbec red king — acidulous fruit (sour cherry, plum) with jam and violet hints, characteristic mineral sensation, fine silky tannins, plump flesh, generous volume preserving freshness. Smoother style than extreme-altitude Uco, reference for Catena, Zuccardi and Marcelo Pelleriti. Iconic global Malbec.
Deep, velvety reds with an intense purple colour, showing aromas of blackberry, black plum, violet, cocoa and gentle spice. Round tannins, fleshy palate, peppery length. Star of Cahors AOC (Côt, Auxerrois) in France and the absolute signature of Mendoza, Argentina (Uco Valley, Luján de Cuyo). A French South-West variety that became the Argentine emblem after its post-phylloxera decline.
