The 2022 Raquis Chacayes Malbec is sourced from the high-altitude Uco Valley in Mendoza, Argentina. This vintage offers a concentrated profile showcasing ripe black fruits, including blackberries and plums, alongside hints of violets and subtle oak-derived spices. The wine is full-bodied, marked by a firm tannic structure, and demonstrates a balance of freshness and precision. Its unique characteristics arise from the Chacayes Geographical Indication, where the alluvial soils and high elevation of approximately 1,200m contribute to the wine’s distinct mineral edge.
