Production
Finca El Mirador is located in Los Chacayes, one of the best wine regions of Uco Valley. The average elevation here is 1.200 meters above sea level. The soil is very poor with underlaying sand and calcarium alluvial stones. 60% new French oak, 40% steel, both components aged for 14 months before blending, bottled and released after 12 months in bottle. Unfined and unfiltered.
Tasting notes
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.
Food match
Seared fillet steak, duck breast, sticky ribs, and for vegetarians, try the local Mendozan dish of humita.
