Product notes

With Luca, Laura pioneered grower relations in Mendoza and discovered many small old vine previously going into bulk wine. The Luca team works with some of the best family vineyards in the Uco Valley to make this rich and dense example of Malbec.

This is a great example of Mendoza Malbec. Incredible deep purple red color. Loads of spice and black and red cherry aromas with notes of chocolate. The berry flavors really pop on the palate and lively acidity that lead to an incredible long finish.
