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.
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: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
