WINE DESCRIPTION
Escorihuela Gascón Escorihuela 1884 Single Vineyard Malbec is a premium wine produced by the renowned winery Escorihuela Gascón. The grapes are sourced from a single vineyard in the Mendoza appellation, known for its high altitude and ideal growing conditions for Malbec. The vineyard features old vines that produce low yields, resulting in concentrated and complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Malbec with intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and vanilla, and a long, smooth finish. This wine is a perfect representation of the quality and craftsmanship of Escorihuela Gascón wines.

ORIGINS
Winery: Escorihuela Gascón
Region: Mendoza
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography.
Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.CUSTOMER RATING
