I loved the perfumed, floral and complex nose of the 2019 Alluvia Parcel Malbec, a showy varietal produced with grapes from selected, head-pruned plots from their Alluvia Vineyard in Gualtallary. It fermented by plot and matured in French barriques, 50% of them new, for 20 months. It's ripe without excess at 14.6% alcohol and has full development of aromas and flavours, with tons of violets, while retaining very good freshness and balance. It comes through as elegant and perfumed, with very fine and elegant tannins.

Mendoza is a wine region located in Argentina, known for producing some of the world's finest Malbec wines. The region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the 16th century when Spanish colonizers first introduced grapevines to the area. Today, Mendoza is home to over 1,500 wineries, making it the largest wine-producing region in Argentina.

The style of production in Mendoza is heavily influenced by the region's unique climate and geography. The area is situated at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, which provide a natural barrier against the Pacific Ocean's cool winds. This results in a dry, sunny climate with large temperature fluctuations between day and night. These conditions are ideal for growing grapes with thick skins, which produce rich, full-bodied wines with intense fruit flavors.

The most popular grape variety grown in Mendoza is Malbec, which accounts for over 60% of the region's vineyards. Other red grape varieties grown in the region include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. Mendoza also produces some excellent white wines, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Torrontés.

Overall, Mendoza is a must-visit destination for wine lovers looking to explore the world of Argentine wine. The region's unique climate and geography, combined with its rich winemaking history, make it a fascinating and rewarding place to discover new and exciting wines.

Tupungato is a wine region located in the Mendoza province of Argentina. The region is known for producing high-quality wines that are rich in flavor and aroma. The history of winemaking in Tupungato dates back to the early 20th century when Italian immigrants first settled in the area and began planting vineyards.

Today, Tupungato is home to some of the most prestigious wineries in Argentina, including Catena Zapata, Salentein, and Andeluna. These wineries are known for their commitment to producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.

The style of production in Tupungato is heavily influenced by the region's high altitude and cool climate. The vineyards in Tupungato are located at an elevation of over 3,000 feet above sea level, which results in a longer growing season and a slower ripening process. This, in turn, allows the grapes to develop more complex flavors and aromas.

The most common grape varieties grown in Tupungato are Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay. Malbec is the most widely planted grape in the region and is known for producing full-bodied, richly flavored wines with notes of blackberry, plum, and chocolate. Cabernet Sauvignon is also popular in Tupungato and is known for producing wines with firm tannins and flavors of blackcurrant and tobacco. Chardonnay is the most widely planted white grape in the region and is known for producing wines with flavors of apple, pear, and citrus.

Overall, Tupungato is a region that is known for producing high-quality wines that are rich in flavor and aroma.
