The 2021 Malbec Autentico (from Molinos, Calchaquí Valley, Salta) is unaged and a vivid purple in hue. The intense, pure aromatic profile features plum jam, chutney, hints of spice and white pepper. In the mouth, it’s potent and full-bodied with rugged tannins and a juicy flow. This is a rewarding, primary red.

Blackberries, dark spices, oyster shells and graphite with a lift of violets. A full-bodied malbec with round, polished tannins. Very primary with plush fruit. Showing complexity without referring to oak. Vegan. Really delicious now.

The 2021 Auténtico Malbec feels very young and a bit raw, like it needs a little more time. This unoaked wine was produced as an homage to the ancestral style of the zone (and to the winery when it belonged to the previous owner, the Dávalos family). It has the intensity and power of Salta and the vines at 2,300 meters in altitude, and it opens up nicely in the glass if you wait a bit. It has very good acidity, which makes it very balanced. Fifteen percent of the volume matured in concrete egg for 10 months and the rest in stainless steel. 65,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2022.
