DESCRIPTION
Luca Wines Old Vine Malbec 2021 is crafted from 80-year-old vines cultivated at an altitude of 1,000 meters in the Uco Valley, Mendoza. Created by Laura Catena, daughter of the pioneer Nicolas Catena, this wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, of which 35% is new. It impresses with its concentration, intensity, and elegant freshness, supported by a ripe tannic structure and a persistent finish.
The aromatic profile reveals notes of black cherry, ripe red fruits, sweet spices, dark chocolate, and a touch of mocha. The attack on the palate is ample with beautiful density, balanced by a fresh acidity. The finish is long, savory, and dynamic. It beautifully accompanies braised beef tacos or a dry-aged ribeye steak. Aging potential of 10 years and more.
REGION
Mendoza
Argentina
Mendoza is the largest wine region in Argentina. Set on a high altitude plateau at the edge of the Andes, the province accounts for around 70% of the country's annual wine production. The French grape Malbec has found its New World home in the vineyards of Mendoza, producing red wines of great concentration and intensity. While Malbec is without doubt the star of the region, you will also find many plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Syrah, Torrontés and Sauvignon Blanc.
