Gorgeous and silky premium malbec – the highest expression of Gauchezco’s wine making and the estate’s tete-de-cuvee. Deep rich red-purple with highlights, and fresh aromas of violets and black fruits as well as spice. Hugely concentrated, with marked acidity and silky tannins, this is a very elegant wine with excellent aging potential.

The Gauchezco story began with the purchase of the historic and legendary Barrancas vineyard, in Maipu - founded in 1881 by the Governor of Mendoza Tiburcio Benegas and the site on which some of the first premium grapes for winemaking were planted in Argentina. This Family-owned winery continues to strive to make wines that truly reflect the awe-inspiring vibrancy of the Argentine terroir, and the attitude of the Gaucho - the legendary Argentine cowboys imbued with a deep connection to the earth. In addition to Barrancas, Gauchezco’s winemakers now produce wines from sites in the Uco Valley in Mendoza Province and Cafayate in Salta.

12 months in new oak barrels – a mix of French, American and Hungarian, followed by an additional 12 months in bottle prior to release.
