Cellar
The vineyards of the Argentinian winery Huentala, 230 hectares in total, are located one hour from the city of Mendoza and some of them reach an altitude of 1,400 metres above sea level, making them among the highest vineyards in the world.
In spite of the altitude, more than 300 days of sunshine illuminate the vines of Huentala Wines in the heart of the Uco Valley, in the Gualtallary district, producing fully ripe fruit with thickened skins that guarantee an exquisite result during vinification.
Three styles of Malbec coexist in the vineyards of Huentala Wines: fresh and fruity in the north; spicy, intense and concentrated in the central part and exotic with notes of fruit, spices and flowers in the south. With all these styles, Huentala succeeds in creating wines that stand out for their structure, great body and tannic consistency, with aromatic and fruity expressions balanced with the necessary acidity and freshness.
Description

It has an intense purple-red colour, with seductive black hues. The nose presents itself with elegance and complexity, with distinct varietal character. Hints of black plums, blackberries, strawberries, redcurrants and subtle floral aromas (violets and dog roses) stand out, with a hint of spices, reminiscent of the time spent in French oak barrels. The palate is balanced, very harmonious and silky in structure. It has a long, fruity and persistent finish.
