El Porvenir Alto Los Cuises Malbec Cafayate
This wine received a huge 96 points from Tim Atkin in his 2022 Argentina Special Report
”This incredible, isolated site produces one of my favourite Malbecs, not just in the north but also in the whole of Argentina. Pepper, savoury and intense, with expertly handled second and third-use oak, suave tannins, notes of bramble and red berry fruit and long, balanced, nuanced finish. Superb winemaking.” Tim Atkin MW

El Porvenir Alto Los Cuises Malbec Cafayate - The Alto Los Cuises vineyard is nestled between steep slopes and high mountian cliffs, this extreme vineyard produces grapes with a unique and fine expression.
One of the most highly regarded modern Malbec vineyards in Argentina, Alto Los Cuises is, unusually, bush-vine Malbec planted amongst the ancient, giant cacti of El Porvenir's highest, driest rocky slopes. The resulting wine is full, with a mineral seam of texture and acidity running though the hugely floral pallet. Its a remarkable, contemporary expression of Malbec that highlights the a-typicity and regionality possible in Argentina.
