Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
The estate's numbered range runs from I upward, and this is the Malbec from Vista Flores, high in Mendoza's Uco Valley where the vineyards sit above 1,000 metres. Altitude is the whole story in Argentine Malbec: intense sun ripens the fruit fully while cold nights hold the acidity and keep the perfume intact. Blackberry and dark plum with violet, black pepper and a savoury herbal edge, over fine, firm tannin from French oak. Full-bodied but lifted, and more structured than the softer valley-floor style.
