Discover the grape variety: Caberlot
Structured, elegant, age-worthy reds with a deep purple colour, firm tannins and an ample palate showing complex aromas of black fruits (cassis, blackberry), spices, balsamic notes and toasty nuances from ageing. A coveted, confidential cult wine. Grown almost exclusively by the Rogosky family in Tuscany (Podere Il Carnasciale) for a mythical single-estate cuvée. A rare Italian variety, a spontaneous cross of Cabernet Franc × Merlot discovered in Tuscany in the 1960s.

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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
