Altar Uco Edad Moderna Malbec 2020
Product Description
Celebrated for its bold flavours and supple texture, Malbec has enjoyed runaway success in Argentina since the late 20th century. If you’re trying to please a crowd, Malbec is generally a safe bet with its combination of dense fruit and soft tannins."Altar Uco is the latest endeavor from beloved Tupungato-based winemaker Juan Pablo Michelini. Affectionately known as Juampi to those who’ve had the pleasure of spending any time with him, he also serves as the head winemaker at his family’s winery, Zorzal. However, this project offers a fresh perspective on what the Uco Valley and more specifically Gualtallary means in the greater conversation on South American wine. Juampi explained to us that he aims to produce “quiet wines” which require as little human intervention as possible – they are made in one or two months before spending years at rest.” – Skurnik

Product Reviews
Critics Review
91 Points - Robert Parkers Wine AdvocateThe young and tender 2020 Edad Moderna Malbec feels a bit raw and wild, showing the character of the place. It is a bit riper, reflecting a warmer and drier year, showing notes of licorice and black cherries. It fermented in raw concrete, where it matured for eight months. It's a bit chewy with faint rusticity, and it developed balsamic nuances with time in the glass.
