Finca La Escuela is in Altamira, the premiere region for Malbec. It is named for the rural school (Escuela) located on the property. Always more complete and nuanced than the Malbecs from the individual soils, it has the floral varietal character and the chalkiness of the Paraje Altamira limestone soils. It has very good freshness and very fine tannins, in a rare combination of power and elegance.

At the very foot of the majestic Andes, soils have a marked limestone character. These Limestone Lots impart a mineral texture to the wines.
Small amounts of Cabernet Franc intensifies this Malbec’s floral character while the limestone soil profile lends finely grained tannins. Here the tannins are the signature of the wine, with a chalky sensation

Tinto Negro, meaning “black wine” in Spanish. Lively and fun with aromas of crushed berries, lemon rind and hints of stones. Medium body, light tannins and a fresh, creamy finish.

Sourced from Mendoza’s high altitude Uco Valley, this blend is meant to showcase the cool climate style of Malbec. Intense floral aromatics, dark fruit flavors, rich texture and a bright, fresh finish – cool climate Malbec. The wine is aged for six months in used French oak.

Deep dark color hue. Very complex nose of black fruit (redcurrant, blueberry) and spice aromas with a hint of menthol. The palate is rich and well-structured with a nice freshness.

Grape varietals: 50% Merlot, 30% Tannat, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec

The cold influence of the sea is present here, but the soil is the protagonist, determining the structure of the tannins that look like chalk, which have that grain, that severe, austere texture. A wine that impresses with the way it absorbs the soil.

Deep color, almost dark. Complex and intense nose: black berries (blueberry, blackcurrant), spices (clove), torrefaction (cacao, tobacco), wood (cedar) and a fresh menthol note. Solid and powerful palate with ripe tannins: an iron hand in a velvet glove.

Grape Varietals: 34% Tannat, 33% Cabernet Franc, 33% Malbec

Fresh on the nose, developing aromas of black cherry. Merlot is the dominant grape here, blended to perfection with Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec to give a powerful, well-structured wine. Excellent length on the finish.

Perfect for a light buffet supper or with fine charcuterie, grilled meat, chicken, roast veal, red meats and mature cheeses.

A clear appearance. A delicious nose with notes of redcurrant, blackberry and blueberry jelly combined with rose petals and peonies. A smooth with notes of Itxassou black cherries and wild raspberries. A wine that is perfect on its own but may also be served throughout a meal.

A wine that is still a little discreet on the nose, but once aerated, delivers aromas of ripe red fruits on a background of charred wood. The mouth reveals itself to be ample, rich and concentrated, and upheld by silky tannins. Best enjoyed after a few years of ageing in cellar.

The color of Château Mercier is concentrated, with a dark heart. Intense, the first nose exudes aromas of blackcurrant and violet that let a powdery floral of almond hinting at lilac blossom. The whole leaves an impression of delicacy and softness. The attack on the palate is round and concentrated, but gives way to a lovely fruity freshness. The mid-palate is velvety and delicate. The finish, elongated, is airy and elegant.

A hot year, allowing the grapes to reach excellent maturity, which gave smooth wines, characterized by a dark, intense and deep color. The nose is complex, fruity, floral and fresh. The aromas of fresh figs, blackberries, red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, as well as the noble violet characterize this great vintage. Tasting delighted by the power, richness, volume and density of each sip. Endowed with a very great balance, it is the alliance of power and delicacy, maturity and freshness.
