Rocamadre Malbec Mendoza 2023

The Rocamadre Malbec Mendoza 2023 is a single-varietal Malbec from the high-altitude vineyards of Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley sub-region of Mendoza, Argentina. The wine is produced by the husband-and-wife team of Juanfa Suarez and Cecilia Duran, who focus on minimal intervention winemaking to express the unique, high-altitude terroir. The vines grow in stony, limestone-rich soils at the base of the Andes mountains, which imparts a fresh, structured, and mineral character to the wine. It is fermented with native yeast, sometimes including whole clusters, and aged in old barrels. This results in a fresh, yet deep Malbec with notes of black cherry, dark fruits, and violet.
