The wine region of Perdriel
Historic district in central Luján de Cuyo (Mendoza), vineyards at 900-1,000 m on deep alluvial clay soils, home to some of Argentina's oldest Malbec vines. Malbec is the signature red: powerful and concentrated with deep notes of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, violet, chocolate and a spiced touch, firm silky tannins, full body and superb aging potential — the classic reference style of Mendocino Malbec. Structured Cabernet Sauvignon and taut Chardonnay complement.
