The wine region of Agrelo
Argentine sub-region of Luján de Cuyo in Mendoza, high-altitude vineyards (900-1,100 m) at the Andean foothills on alluvial soils. Historic cradle of Argentine Malbec with old vines 40+ years. Signature Malbec as ruling red: powerful and deep with blackberry, plum, violet, blackcurrant, chocolate, vanilla and sweet spices, round tannins and velvety palate — peak for great age-worthy reds (Catena Zapata, Achaval-Ferrer). Firm Cabernet Sauvignon, supple Merlot.
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: Concentrator
A device that removes water from grape must by reverse osmosis or entropy system. Its proponents say that it is better to remove water than to add sugar to produce more alcohol. The improperly used concentrator can also exaggerate bad tastes or greenness of tannins.
