Wine Description:
The Alluvia Parcel Malbec originates from a select 2.4-hectare plot in block No. 8 within the Alluvia Vineyard, situated in Gualtallary, Uco Valley, at an elevation of 1,350 meters (4,430 feet). This bush vine vineyard, positioned on an ancient streambed, features a soil composition of medium-sized alluvial stones coated with calcium carbonate, mixed with sand and limestone encrustations. Notably nutrient-poor, with nearly zero organic matter, the soil offers excellent drainage.
