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: Aging
Period during which a wine is kept in a cellar where it goes through different phases of evolution of its aromatic range and a maturation of its constituents (evolution of the colour, refining of the tannins, harmonization of the different flavours, etc.). The wine evolves better and less quickly in large containers, whereas it deteriorates prematurely in half-bottles.
