the wine
With a few years behind it already, this Uco Valley Malbec is drinking in its sweet spot, the fruit softened and the oak folded in. High-altitude vines give it lift, long aging gives it warmth. Pour it now, with something off the grill.
tasting notes
Intense high-altitude color, with a good balance of fruit, wood and elegant tannins. Blackberry, plum and cherry with violet and mint, and cocoa and vanilla from 14 months in American oak.

Gran Austral draws on high-altitude Uco Valley fruit for Malbec built around balance and elegance rather than sheer size.
