Note di degustazione
The 2018 Primeras Viñas Malbec Luján de Cuyo displays a bright and dark ruby color and a very classical and balanced profile, reflecting a cooler year. The wine shows a bit tight and reticent, but there's phenomenal balance and perfectly integrated oak from a soft vinification and slow aging of 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels. It's varietal, elegant and with the depth and clout of the old vines (from 1906 and 1930). 18,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2020.

A Malbec from Gualtallary, cold-macerated before aging in French foudres for 18 months. Intense purple in color. Notes of cherry and herb dominate with a surprisingly single-minded intensity. Juicy, flowing and light on the palate, with a hint of chalk that lends a fine texture along with a salty touch. The oak contributes to the medium body. A high-altitude, flavorful wine.
