SuperUco Calcareo Granito de Gualtallary 2018

This 100% hand harvested Malbec is from a single vineyard in the Gualtallary sub-region of the Uco Valley. The nose jumps out of the glass with notes of boisenberry, plum, and vanilla. The wine is big and broad with ample tannin and high minerality that leads to a long finish with hints of dark cherry and orange peel. This used to be called Granito de Tupungato but they are now allowed to use the officially recognized region of Gualtallary on the label. Same vineyard as before.
