Uco Valley, Mendoza - Argentina

"This is Ruca Malen "Iconic" wine and it is a Malbec-based blend that hides the power to express the best of each vintage."

Vineyard located in San Carlos, La Consulta, at 1,015 meters above sea level. Deep soils with a sandy loam profile, with alluvial sediments of varying sizes at different depths. Good drainage and a wide temperature range between day and night allow for excellent concentration.

Harvested by hand and carefully selected in the vineyard and winery, the wine is then transferred by gravity to a stainless steel tank. At the end, a post-fermentation maceration takes place to gain complexity, and the wine is transferred to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing for 15 months. Before blending, the wine is tasted barrel by barrel, selecting the best from each year, in pursuit of complexity and elegance.

Intense violet-red color with black tones. The nose is complex, combining black fruit, spices, and graphite. It also has notes of blue fruits and Andean herbs such as rockrose and wild thyme. The palate has an elegant entry, with velvety tannins and a long finish.
