Really pleased to have this wine back in stock, its one of the best in Argentina and a powerful expression of Malbec. A safe bet when wanting to impress. Its impossible not to mention good food with this wine. Try with grilled red meats, ribeye steak with thyme, pasta with Carbonara sauce.
Complex nose with a mixture of red berries and spicy aromas of black pepper, delicate notes of chocolate and coffee coming from the oak. A structured and complex wine with pleasant tannins that provide sweetness and a long finish.
A pioneer in the Uco Valley, Bodega Piedra Negra was established in 1996. François Lurton was the first person to plant vines in the foothills of the Andes Cordillera (at an altitude of 1,100 m.a.sl.) in semi-desert conditions in the middle of what would become the Geographical Indication of Los Chacayes. The poor, gravelly, alluvial soil reminded him of Pessac-Léognan in Bordeaux! Drawing on expertise acquired all over the world, he immediately introduced environmentally friendly growing methods. His 99 hectares of vines are managed organically and in adherence to biodynamic principles. In addition to Argentine selections of Malbec, the estate also grows French selections of the grape (known as Cot).
In white grapes they offer a rare source of wines produced from Pinot Gris.
