The wine region of Vista Flores
Uco Valley district (Tunuyán, ~1,100 m, sandy-clay alluvials, rocks, loam and sought-after limestone): Malbec red king alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah — signature with deep black fruit and floral rose aromas, remarkable structure, intense colour, full-bodied richly tannic, balanced by preserved acidity and elegance, characteristic limestone minerality. Sun-drenched climate tempered by Andean winds, elegant and complex Malbec.
The wine region of Mendoza
World capital of Malbec: powerful, deep reds with blackberry, plum, violet and sweet spice, round tannins and vivid fruit. Also firm Cabernet Sauvignon, supple, juicy Bonarda, aromatic floral white Torrontés. High-altitude vineyards (800-1,700 m) at the foot of the Andes, dry continental climate irrigated by glacial waters. ~80% of Argentine output across 150,000 ha.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
