The wine region of Tupungato
High-altitude jewel (1,050-1,500 m) in the Uco Valley (Mendoza, Argentina): signature Malbec as the royal red — concentrated and fresh with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, violet, cocoa and a touch of spice, chiselled tannins and acidity preserved by altitude, more elegant and taut than Luján. Structured Cabernet and fresh Pinot Noir (Gualtallary the star) in support. Racy, mineral Chardonnay. Stony alluvium over sand and limestone, dry continental, extreme thermal range.
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: Solera
A method of maturing practiced in Andalusia for certain sherries, which aims to continuously blend older and younger wines. It consists of stacking several layers of barrels; those located at ground level (solera) contain the oldest wines, the youngest being stored in the barrels on the upper level. The wine to be bottled is taken from the barrels on the lower level, which is replaced by younger wine from the upper level, and so on.
