Achaval Ferrer Finca Bella Vista Malbec Luján de Cuyo DOC

Luján de Cuyo DOC, Argentina
Single-vineyard Malbec from 75-year-old ungrafted vines in Vistalba's alluvial fan at 1,050m. The wine's extraordinary density — near-black garnet — hints at the concentration of these ancient vines. The nose offers violet, dark plum, graphite, and bitter chocolate from French oak. The palate is monumental yet silky, with a 30-second finish of pure Andean mineral depth.
