Argentina
Region:Mendoza - Uco Valley
From Finca El Mirador in Los Chacayes, one of the Uco Valley's most prized sub-districts, this single-vineyard Malbec grows at 1,200 metres above sea level on sandy soils scattered with calcareous alluvial stones. 60% is aged for 14 months in new French oak, with the remainder in steel, before bottling unfined and unfiltered. Expect floral lift, vivid fruit and firm structure, capturing the raw high-altitude intensity of this remarkable site.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Leonardo Pisano
Born into a Uruguayan winemaking family, Leo Pisano moved to Mendoza at 18 to study oenology, and the Uco Valley captured him so completely he never left. With more than 20 harvests behind him, he now leads the winemaking at Bodega Urqo, where the Urquia family has transformed 300 hectares of raw high-altitude desert into a strikingly modern estate. Their vineyards in Los Chacayes and Tupungato thrive under intense mountain light and sandy, mineral soils, producing fruit of remarkable character. Guided by Leo, with the support of respected consultant Daniel Pi, the wines express the purity and energy of the Andes.
"Highly perfumed, mountain Malbec - the palate is a sublime combination of hoisin notes, lavender plum, bound with silky tannins. A really extraordinary expression of the desert." - Leonardo Pisano, Winemaker.
