Expert Review - Vintage 2020
The Wine Enthusiast by Jesica Vargas writes 91 Points | This medium-bodied red offers sweet red-fruit aromas and hints of chalk. The palate displays honest black fruit and red cherry followed by a light note of spice that lingers through the persistent finish. It has a mineral texture and vibrant acidity typical of the Gualtallary sub-region in the Uco Valley.
Vinous 91 Points | The 2020 Malbec Poligonos Del Valle De Uco Gualtallary was aged in concrete. A dark, bright purple in hue. The liqueur-inflected nose offers ripe notes of plum and blackberry with subtle hints of violet. Compact in the mouth with good freshness, the young, reactive tannins and trace of chalk keep things tight, lending the wine a rugged character with sustained flavor.
Memo Summary Notes
• Style: A "Village Wine" (Vino de Pueblo) focused on pure terroir expression. • Fermentation: Fermented with indigenous (wild) yeasts in epoxy-free concrete vats; approximately 30–50% whole clusters are used. • Aging: Matured exclusively in concrete vats to preserve the wine's mineral identity and fresh fruit character (unoaked style). • Food Pairings: Complements grilled red meats (classic Argentine Asado), beef milanesa, roasted venison, and hearty mushroom-based dishes.
