"Deep nose of rich blackberries, roasted spices, black chocolate and iodine. A rich, full-bodied red with supple fruit and tightly wound but smooth tannins. Naturally concentrated. Just a hint of warmth at the end. Drink or hold."

"There is a new, still unpriced, red produced with the oldest vines in the property as an homage to the year the winery was created, the 2019 1831 Malbec. It's a heady and ripe Malbec at 14.9% alcohol from vines at 2,300 meters above sea level. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in Bordeaux barrels, 30% of them new, for 18 months. It's dark, intense and concentrated, very powerful, and as such, it has swallowed the oak and comes through as fruit-driven and juicy, with pungent flavors and very fine tannins. It's powerful but balanced; dare I say elegant? 6,500 bottles were filled in September 2021"

"1831 refers to the date the estate was founded, rather than the age of the vineyards, but this still comes from a “plant by plant” selection of pergolas up to 150 years’ old. Dense, serious and suitably intense, with grippy tannins, damson and tobacco leaf flavours and slightly less alcohol than usual. Wonderful stuff. 2023-32"

"This well-balanced wine shows a bouquet of ripe plum and blackberry aromas with hints of rosemary. A silky round palate gives way to plenty of black-fruit flavors blended with a light note of leather. The finish is medium in length, with oaky and fruity notes."

"The 2018 Malbec 1831 is made with grapes from the establishment’s oldest vineyards, which according to records were first planted in 1831. A vivid red and dense purple hue. This wine has a fragrant, complex and ripe nose of chutney, balsamic traces and notes of redcurrant and hints of bay leaf and plum jam. A nuanced wine, the palate is broad with mild, juicy freshness, good concentration and a gentle feel sculpted a little by characterful tannins before a fruity finish one rarely finds in the valley. A high altitude mild red."

"This has a deep and dark, purple-fruit nose with violets and brambly dark plums pervading the palate. Very rich in flavor. Drink over the next five years."

"Made with grapes from pre-phylloxera parral vines between 100 and 150 years old at 2,300 meters above sea level, this Malbec is an intense blackberry color in the glass. The nose presents ripe fruit, a hint of flesh and clear woody notes (from the 18 months spent in barrels); grape syrup is the dominant aroma. Fleshy on the palate, with mild tannins, it makes an indulgent, rich entrance, and at 15.5% alcohol it’s almost a port, with a well-defined high-altitude character."
