WINE DESCRIPTION
This Malbec is produced from high-altitude vineyards on free-draining soil composed of alluvial sediments with a predominance of clay and a rocky base, ideal for quality viticulture in this region. The very dry, continental climate features a big thermal amplitude, promoting slow, long ripening periods that result in rich, concentrated flavors with balanced sugars and acidity. With minimal intervention viticulture, the yields are low, producing only ca. 4,000 bottles annually. Aged for 18 months in new to second-use French oak barrels, this Malbec is characterized by its complexity and elegance. Good example of great value, high-altitude Malbec.

ORIGINS
Winery: Nōmade
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
