Vistalba

Another of the house's classics. This one is 74% malbec, 21% cabernet sauvignon, and the rest is bonarda, all from their own vineyards in Vistalba, one of the highest areas in the Luján de Cuyo DO. It comes from a selection of vineyards and barrels. Initially, the varieties are aged separately, and for the last six months they are put together in 225- and 500-liter foudres and barrels. This is a very local wine, with that sweetness and succulence that characterizes the reds from Luján, with firm tannins and flavors of ripe black fruits that fill the mouth.

The grapes for this blend of 67% Malbec, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Bonarda come from vineyards in the beautiful Vistalba subregion in Luján de Cuyo. A nose of ripe cherries leads to a silky and deeply layered palate. Raspberries, blackberries and licorice are enhanced by subtle spices. There is tension and a persistent cassis finish.
