The 2017 Aluvional Gualtallary Malbec has notes such as strawberry, cherry, and plum, complemented by subtle herbal and floral hints. Its silky mouthfeel is supported by lively acidity, seriously structured tannins, and a long finish. Originating from alluvial soils composed of shallow gravel layered with calcium carbonate, caliche, and calcareous sands, this vintage benefits from weather conditions similar to a standard Mendoza year, resulting in balanced wines. Although yields were below average, the 2017 harvest delivered exceptional grape health and quality, with distinct regional expressions driven by carefully chosen harvest dates—yielding wines with significant aging potential.
At this stage I would decant this 24 hours before drinking!
