The wine region of Gualtallary
High-altitude sub-zone of Tupungato (Uco Valley, Mendoza, Andes foothills, up to 1,600 m, plots >1,900 m): Malbec reigns in red — electric and vertical profile with lively acidity and chalky minerality, aromas of violet and bright red fruits rather than jammy, fine tannins, long persistent finish. Chardonnay also notable. Poor stony soils and sandy-limestone alluvium, cold nights — Argentine high-altitude elegance.
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: Beurré
Typical aroma of white wines aged in oak barrels and wines that have undergone malolactic fermentation.
