The Story Behind the Wine:

This 2019 1853 Old Vine Estate Selected Parcel Malbec comes from some of the oldest Malbec vines in the world, planted in 1910 in La Consulta, Uco Valley. Marcelo Pelleriti, one of Argentina’s most respected winemakers and the first in Latin America to receive a perfect 100-point rating from Robert Parker, crafts this wine with a focus on power and elegance. The vines' low yield results in just two vines producing a single bottle, contributing to the wine’s intense concentration and rich flavor profile. Aged for 12 months in oak, this wine is a tribute to the legacy of Argentine Malbec and the unique terroir of Uco Valley.
