TASTING NOTES

Perhaps the most radical of Argentina’s winemakers, Matias Michelini was fondly known as the "green Michelini" for many years and his colorful winemaking still makes him the rebel of the Argentine wine scene. Pioneering a lean style of wine with often electric acidity, Michelini has been at the forefront of Uco Valley winemaking and in particular Gualtallary’s development over the last decade. A firm believer in biodynamic viticulture, Mathias' wines very much start in the vineyard and almost invariably end in concrete. -Importer's Notes

 

Farmed from high elevation vineyards, this mountain Malbec has scents of violets and ripe, red fruit with whispers of eucalyptus. A vibrant palate offers a pure, juicy core of black cherry, blueberry and spiced plum riding on chalky minerality with moderate tannin. Serve this Malbec with a blue cheese burger, roasted mushrooms or lamb chops with rosemary.
