From 1,500m in Los Chacayes, this 100% Malbec captures the essence of the mountains with striking transparency. The partial use of whole bunches, fermentation in small concrete vats then 16 months' ageing in French oak foudres all enhance a profile of violets, thyme, jarilla, plum and blackberry, threaded with a mineral imprint. It combines intensity, tension and depth, with firm-textured chalky tannins and a long, vibrant, juicy finish.
