The wine region of La Consulta
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.

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 futures
