About Malbec
Malbec is Argentina's flagship variety, and the country has the largest Malbec acreage in the world. This variety originally comes from South West France, where it is called Cot and features a hard, tannic style. Due to its intense color and dark hues, wines obtained from this variety were once called “the black wines of Cahors.”
About the Terroir
At the foothill of the Andes, in Mendoza, there is a region integrated by Luján de Cuyo, Maipú, Godoy Cruz and Guaymallén.
Our Malbec is from Barracas, located in Maipú the weather is slightly warmer. This accounts for softer and more mature wines. The arid weather is cooled down by the effects of the altitude and intense sunlight exposure during the day. Soils are deep and alluvial with sand, silt and clay; they allow the vine to extend its roots, improving its strength and health.
