the wine
Co-fermenting Malbec and Cabernet Franc together, rather than blending them later, knits this wine into one seamless, spicy whole. From Gualtallary in the high Uco Valley, it is full-bodied but smooth, all clove and cassis and round tannins. A small winemaking trick that pays off in the glass.
tasting notes
Malbec and Cabernet Franc co-fermented into a full-bodied, smooth blend. Nutmeg, clove, cinnamon and plum introduce a spicy palate of dark chocolate, cassis, cinnamon and black fruit, harmonized by moderate acidity and round tannins.

from Huentala.
Huentala works the high Uco Valley, including the sought-after Gualtallary district, chasing the freshness and mineral tension that altitude brings to Malbec. From the everyday bottlings up, the focus stays on balance and a real sense of place.
