2021 Bodegas Atamisque Malbec Valle de Uco

100% sustainably farmed Malbec from an 87-year-old vineyard located in the La Consulta area, one of the best Malbec-growing regions in the world. The vineyard stands at 3,600 feet high. Hand picked and sorted, with all winemaking done by gravity flow. Temperature controlled fermentation is done in small stainless-steel tanks. Aged in new French oak barrels (Taransud & Demptos) for 14 months. 14% alcohol. Aromas of violets, mature blackberries, figs, and dried black fruits, with a subtle hint of coffee and tobacco. Intense and full-bodied, with lush blackberries, plum flavors and dark minerals. Great fruit acidity, gripping tannic structure and superb balance. This is serious Malbec! Atamisque is the name of an native tree that grows in the winery’s surroundings.
