From a vineyard located 1,200 meters above sea level on the eastern side of Tupungato in the northern Uco Valley, this is a blend of 90% malbec and 10% cabernet franc. The red fruits of this mountain malbec are clearly evident in this red with aromas and flavors of sour cherries nuanced by notes of violets in a wine with sharp, firm, vertical tannins. The sensation of juiciness and fruity generosity persists in a wine that reflects the variety very well in that area at the foot of the Andes.

The Belhara estate is comprised of 3 vineyards with altitudes between 1100 and 1400 meters. Their 180 hectares of planted vineyards include vines up to 80 years old. It opens with ample dusky blueberries, violets lifting a ripe swell of perfumed purple and black fruits. Tannins are sticky, reflecting the unripened warmth of Tupungato, while the acidity is vibrant, thanks to the altitude. Ready for drinking now, preferably alongside grilled beef.
