Parcel Licán - Malbec 2021

Located at 1,200 meters above sea level in Los Chacayes, Uco Valley, Licán vineyard features undulating terrain, the result of a steep slope crossed by natural streams flowing from west to east. This natural topography of the vineyard promotes the flow of cold air, making it one of the areas within Valle de Uco where grapes ripen earlier. Parcel 12 from Licán Vineyard was chosen by its closeness to a dried stream covered with native biodiversity and for a heterogeneous soil composition with higher concentration of calcium carbonate. These characteristics combined with a wide temperature range and a high-altitude result in wines with black fruit notes, native herbal aromas, rounded tannins and delicate tension.

Tasting Notes

The wine reveals a fresh and intensely black fruity aroma, with prominent notes of plum and strawberry that complement the characteristic violet and herbal mountain notes typical of Malbec grown in cold climates. On the palate, it is a fresh, vibrant, and complex wine with a broad mid-palate that fills the mouth. It has great structure rounded tannins, freshness, and a long finish, with multiple layers that highlight the distinctive characteristics of this single-vineyard Malbec.
