Nido Del Tigre, Ripasso Del Giardino Malbec 2023
DESCRIPTION
The Nido del Tigre Ripasso del Giardino Malbec 2023 embodies Andean boldness in a rich, intense wine. After fermenting the passito white wine, the skins are recovered and re-fermented with Malbec, resulting in a unique wine from the garden vineyard of the casona, nestled at 1,500 meters in the pre-Andean mountains of Villa Corral. Aged in concrete eggs without epoxy and crafted with indigenous yeasts, this wine reveals a brilliant red color and aromas of remarkable freshness and elegance. This Ripasso Malbec, created under 300 days of sun, stands out due to its unique fermentation technique and the exceptional terroir, enriched by the region’s pioneering legacy.
REGION
San Juan
Argentina
Although less well known than Mendoza, San Juan stands out among Argentina's great vineyards. Located in the west of the country, at the foot of the Andes, this region enjoys a desert climate ideal for viticulture. The winemakers of San Juan produce wines of great personality, with Syrah as the flagship grape variety, giving intense, spicy reds. Excellent Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are also found here, reflecting the arid, sun-drenched terroir. Thanks to the altitude and temperature variations, the grapes develop good concentration and fresh acidity, making for well-balanced, long-keeping wines. Internationally acclaimed, San Juan wines seduce with their unique character.

Lovely intensity on the nose with dark fruit notes. The ripasso technique brings unexpected complexity. The finish is long and silky.
