The Aguaribayis a typical and emblematic tree of the Mendoza region, perfectly adapted to conditions of medium altitude of the Andes, it is frequently found at the foothills of this majestic mountain range. Related to the Pepper tree family, this evergreen tree is highly recognizable for the stylish thin leaves, jagged, and drooping elegantly. At the foot of the Andes, 120 km south of Mendoza, on the ground where grows the Aguaribaytree, we planted our vineyard, at 1100m altitude. The Malbec is king of this unique land of the Cordillera together with the Aguaribaysbordering the parcels of vines.

TASTING NOTES
On the eye, the wine displays a deep red colour with violet highlights, a sign of both concentration and freshness. The nose is fruity and expressive, appealing with its aromatic freshness, combining notes of ripe fruit with subtle spicy touches drawn from the native herbs of the terroir, adding complexity and a strong sense of identity.
On the palate, the wine is lively and full of character, supported by a precise balance between soft tannins and refreshing acidity.
Delicate nuances from ageing, evoking vanilla, enhance the overall profile and highlight the character of the Malbec. Gentle winemaking results in silky, elegant tannins, making this cuvée a distinctly fresh, fruit-driven expression, ideally enjoyed in its youth.
