Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Malbec from the Uco Valley, the highest and coolest of Mendoza's subregions, where vineyards climb well above a thousand metres and the diurnal swing is severe — which is why Uco Malbec keeps an acidity and a floral lift that the warmer valley floor loses. Dark plum and blackberry over violet, sweet spice and a stony, mineral undertow, full-bodied with ripe but firm tannin. Deeply coloured and generous, yet built with more structure and freshness than Malbec's plush reputation suggests.
