In the Lujan de Cuyo appellation, atop a high-desert plateau at the foot of the Andes Mountains, the Malbec grape thrives in a micro-climate that has become the premier appellation within Mendoza. With the backdrop of the snow-capped Andes, the Cuyo was introduced to viticulture in 1556 by Spanish Jesuit Missionaries who utilized extensive irrigation systems fed by the glacial rivers of the Cuyana Basin. Today, pergola trellising and drip irrigation systems perfect the art of viticulture in the region notorious for the Malbec varietal.

This Malbec has a rich texture and beautiful dark burgundy color. A bouquet of oaky vanilla and rose petal mingle with dark fruit. Oak-softened tannins reveal deep plum, raisin, slight black olive and dried herb with a rich toast from 6 months of French oak maturation.
