Smooth and full-bodied, this wine opens with an enticing nose of blackberry and red currant jam, layered with delicate hints of vanilla bean. On the palate, generous flavors of ripe cherries are lifted by a touch of cinnamon and dark chocolate, all supported by vibrant acidity and plush, well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and persistent, leaving behind subtle notes of aniseed.

Grown in the sandy soils to the east of Mendoza, at Finca Mirador, the vines endure desert-like conditions that demand an extraordinary effort to grow and ripen. This struggle yields a wine of remarkable texture—unctuous yet electric—delivering both power and precision in every sip.

Vinification : Gentle handling of the grapes with soft sprinkling, followed by pressing up to 4 days after the end of fermentation, depending on daily tasting results. No filtration, no cold stabilization, no acid correction, no bleed-offs, and no enzyme additions were applied.

Fermented in cement tanks at a maximum temperature of 93°F (34°C), with extensive pump-overs to enhance extraction.

Malolactic : 100% spontaneous malolactic fermentation in oak barrels.

Oak and aging : Aged for 14 months in new French oak barrels.

Planted in 1921 over an ancient, dry riverbed in Medrano, the Mirador vineyard is defined by sun, sand, and intense heat. Although water no longer flows through the riverbed, a cool nightly breeze descends, helping to preserve the natural acidity of this fully ripened Malbec. Always monolithic and austere in its youth, with a core of black fruit and spice, this wine gradually unfolds in complex, multi-layered expressions over time.
