"The 2023 Malbec Terroir Luj n de Cuyo offers an uncommonly energetic, high-toned expression of Lujan de Cuyo, opening with a charming nose of mixed berries, turned earth and fresh herbs. The palate is plush and succulent yet sleek and precise, finishing with a juicy, persistent and mouthwatering finish."

"Fresh plums, black berry fruit, dried herbs and chocolate orange on the nose. Fruity and creamy with a medium body and supple tannins. Very approachable. From organically grown grapes. Drink now."

"The 2023 Malbec Terroir Organic hails from Luján de Cuyo. It opens with aromas of black and red fruit, a subtle trace of balsamic herbs and a hint of sun-kissed warmth. Succulent and plush with moderate freshness, the 2023 finishes with a faint leafy note and clingy texture, in line with the vintage."

"A spicy, dark-fruited red with hints of chocolate, dried flowers and bark. Medium- to full-bodied, polished and sleek with bright, juicy fruit and hints of savory herbs and orange peel at the end. Crunchy finish. Drink now."

"The 2022 Malbec Terroir Luján de Cuyo was 75% aged for 18 months in concrete vats and 25% aged for six months in large oak vats. With a purple hue, the nose presents crystal-clear violets, plums and cherries with a subtle oak core. On the palate, it is dry and juicy, and the tannin-less mouthfeel contributes to a well-balanced, easygoing finish. Flavorful and tasty."
