The 2017 Grand Malbec from Vista Flores, Uco Valley was aged for 18 months in new French barrels. Dark purple in hue, the aging process dominates the nose with notes of cedar, pencil box and whiff of volatility that brings out inky fruit notes. Concentrated in the mouth, the dry, reactive tannins constrict the flow along with the moderate freshness and extract. The 2017 is a wine with concentration and barrel aging at its core.

Cuvelier los Andes

The Cuvelier family were selling wines to the good folk of Northern France in the early years on the nineteenth Century. In 1903, with the purchase of the St Estèphe estate of Château le Crock, they moved into château ownership, crowning their move in 1920 by buying Château Leoville Poyferré. In the 1990s the family spread their wings all the way to Mendoza, initially working with Michel Rolland on his Clos de la Siete project. But, in 1999, they started to plant their own vineyards - Cuvelier los Andes - and began producing wine in 2003. Michel Rolland dutifully oversees winemaking, and spare grapes are still sold off to Clos de la Siete.
