Bright and intense in color with beautiful aromas of blackberries, red fruits and exotic floral notes, this wine delivers aromatics that entice the senses. A full lush entry of ripe and rich black fruit surrounds spiced oak notes and hints of pepper. Fresh acidity supports big, bold tannins and wonderful complexity.

The 2020 Malbec Estate from the Calchaquí Valley, Salta was aged for 15 months in a quarter new barrels. A purplish ebony in the glass. The concentrated, intense nose offers notes of fruit jam with plum, spice, chutney and balsamic aromas. In the mouth, it makes a plush entrance with good vigor, a juicy flow, refined, reactive tannins and a bold expression. A balanced but powerful high altitude red, the combination of different vineyards from across the valley makes for a complex profile. (Joaquín Hidalgo)

The clean, varietal and fruit-driven 2020 Estate Malbec mixes grapes from different terroirs and altitudes where they have vineyards: 1,800, 2,300, 2,600 and 3,111 meters! The wine is ripe at 14.9% alcohol but feels very harmonious and balanced, clean and focused. It matured in French oak barrels, 10% of them new, for 15 months. 280,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2021. (Luis Gutiérrez)

The opening notes of toasted herbs and spiced chocolate suggest a rich and dark version, yet the core of this red shows pure raspberry and cherry flavors. A nice layer of minerally freshness underneath drives the finish around precise tannins. Drink now through 2034. 23,000 cases made, 12,000 cases imported.

Aromas of bramble fruit with a light note of violets form the bouquet. The palate is abundant in herbs and features optimal acidity and soft but firm tannins, holding black-fruit flavors and hints of tobacco on the midpalate.
