MANOS NEGRAS STONE SOIL SELECT MALBEC 750 ml

Discover the Manos Negras Stone Soil Select Malbec, a bold red wine born from the rugged heights of Argentina's southern Uco Valley. Harvested at 4,000 feet in the Altamira district of San Carlos county, this Malbec draws its essence from a vineyard where diverse soils converge in a single landscape. Sandy stretches mingle with silty zones and stony expanses, creating an extraordinary mosaic underfoot.

Within this terrain, the stone soil patches stand out, blanketed with surface stones and smooth, white-painted rocks rich in calcium carbonate. Minimal organic matter pairs with intense mineral presence, fostering vines that produce scant yields. This scarcity intensifies every grape, channeling deep focus into aromas and flavors while etching a distinctive stony texture into the wine. Crafted solely from Malbec grapes handpicked from these precise stony zones, it captures the raw power of its origins.

Pour a glass and greet a nose brimming with ripeness, pulling you into profound, welcoming depths. The palate unfolds with silkiness, balanced by a sharp acidity that races through to the close. Plum notes shine vividly, laced with subtle herbal whispers, all supported by impressive structure. As it lingers, fig emerges on an extended finish, echoing the vineyard's mineral soul.

This 750 ml bottle, at 13.70% ABV, delivers an authentic taste of Altamira's high-altitude drama. Ideal for those seeking a Malbec with grit and grace, it pairs effortlessly with grilled meats or robust cheeses, elevating any evening. Elevate your collection with this unique expression of stone-kissed terroir from Argentina's premier red wine heritage.
