Roca Madre Malbec Rio Hurtado
Rated 98 points by Tim Atkin MW and awarded 'Overall Red Wine of the Year'
in his Chile 2022 Special Report.
"Well, well, well. Who would have anticipated this? My best Chilean red wine of the year is a Malbec - and not just any Malbec. Roca Madre is an incredible world-class red from the volcanic soils of the Rio Hurtado vineyard located at 1,600 metres in the remote Limari Andes. Racy, tangy, grippy and intensely perfumed, it's an incredible expression of the variety, with violet, plum and black cherry concentration, free-grained tannins and a pithy, energetic, mineral-etched core." Tim Atkin MW
Roca Madre Malbec Rio Hurtado - The nose is an explosion of flowers, very elegant and layered, subtle and complex, changing slowly in the glass with extraordinary freshness and exuberant aromas of peach, aromatic herbs and flowers.
Refined, soft tannins, and a texture that feels incredible for a five-year-old vineyard. This Malbec seems to reflect the clear sky, cold breezes and the amazing, dramatic landscape in its brilliant and expressive flavours.
A unique Malbec from a high altitude site deep into the Chilean Andes. The combination of altitude and luminosity combine to produce a wine with intense concentration and personality.
