Clone of SuperUco Granito Tupungato Malbec

Argentina
Mendoza
2020

This 100% Malbec is hand-harvested from a single vineyard in the Gualtallary sub-region of the Uco Valley. The vineyard was planted in 2008 and is situated at 4,600 feet above sea level. The wine is aged in amphora for 30 days, then in 3-6 year old barrels for 18 months. Full-bodied and deep in color, this is a Malbec of the mountains.

"The 2020 Calcáreo de Granito de Tupungato was produced with grapes from Gualtallary Albo (Tupungato Winelands) on alluvial granite soils with lots of calcium carbonate. It fermented in 5,000-liter oak cask and 300-liter amphorae with indigenous yeasts. This is a little riper than previous vintages, showing graphite notes, wild and energetic, with chalky, fine-grained tannins that give it more grip. It finishes saltier. 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2021. In some countries, this is labeled as Gualtallary, but they have problems with others."
