"A truly wonderful expression of Argentine Malbec from the upper reaches of the Uco Valley!"

“A juicy Malbec with aromas of spicy cherries, blackberries, minerals, and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is firm and medium-bodied, with generous, juicy fruit. Medium-length finish. Drink now or cellar.” (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine:

The 2022 Malbec Petite Fleur comes from the Uco Valley and was aged for one year in used French oak barrels. This somewhat reductive wine displays notes of stone, flowers, and herbs with a slightly blood-like character. It is dry, moderately rich, and well-structured. The tannins are well-integrated but still slightly tight. This is a full-bodied Malbec, grown on the stony soils of the Uco Valley. 2025–2032
