Tasting Notes

Aromatic layers of cassis, blackcurrant, blackberry, and violet unfold with accents of licorice, vanilla, leather, and black pepper. The palate is concentrated yet elegant, finishing silky with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a mineral lift.

Food Paring

Pair this polished Malbec with grilled steak, herb-crusted lamb, or slow-braised beef to echo its dark fruit and savory depth. It also shines alongside aged cheeses or smoky mushroom dishes, where its lively acidity keeps every bite balanced.

Professional Reviews

96 Trialto Press Review

"The 2023 Malbec Alta blends grapes from Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. Harvested in one of the most challenging vintages for Luján de Cuyo, marked by late frost that reduces yields and a hot summer that accelerates ripening, it opens with plum, a balsamic edge, subtle background oak and a delicate floral lift. The palate is juicy and lightly grippy, with the slightly angular contour shared by several 2023 reds, yet it carries notable energy and forward drive. Crucially, there is no greenness here; instead, the wine feels alive and dynamic, pulsing with freshness and momentum despite the year’s difficulties."
