Product Description
This organic Malbec showcases the distinctive character of high-altitude Argentine viticulture. A striking violet-red wine with brilliant clarity, it opens with inviting aromas of dark plums, black cherries, and blueberries, layered with floral notes of violet and Mediterranean herbs—thyme, rosemary, and subtle balsamic undertones. On the palate, the wine reveals elegant restraint with a refreshing mid-palate and lively acidity, supported by supple tannins that build toward a lingering finish. Medium-bodied and fruit-forward with earthy complexity, this wine pairs beautifully with grilled red meats, aged cheeses, and charcuterie.

Wine AdvocateThe 2021 Escorihuela 1884 Single Vineyard Organic Grapes Malbec comes from their organic and biodynamic vineyard in El Cepillo in San Carlos (Valle de Uco), where they work organically and biodynamically and try to express the variety and place in a pure way with no oak in the wine. It has 13.1% alcohol and mellow acidity. It feels young and has some puppy fat to be rendered by some time in bottle, as I have seen while tasting the 2015 and 2018 next to it. It's an unoaked Malbec of great purity and balance, juicy and primary now, but it will develop further complexity and nuance with a bit more time. 40,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2021.
