Atamisque – Malbec

Description

Located in the district of San Jos in Tupungato, Uco Valley, this stunning yet simple winery is the first you will see on the famous Ruta del Vino, Route 86.The humble slate roofs and drably coloured walls host an extremely impressive modern facility, where winemaker Philippe Caraguel quietly plies his trade, bringing a touch of French restraint to the fruits of these 100% estate-owned vineyards, many of which boast some particularly old vines.

Stylistically this epitomises Malbecs journey from plump to pristine over the last 10 15 years. Inky purple in appearance, of course, with wonderful top notes of violets and wild herbs on the nose, under-pinned by intense black fruits with hints of tobacco and coffee. The wine is deep and concentrated in every respect but blissfully fresh and elegant.

Fermented and aged for 14 months in 100% new French oak barrels.
