Black plum, violet and cocoa with alpine freshness; the fruit is generous but the mountain keeps it honest.

The Story
A bottle with a past
At 1,450 metres, frost is a yearly gamble and the Andes fill every window. The Los Cerros family planted this parcel on river stones in 1968, and still crushes a portion of the harvest by foot.
“Altitude gives Malbec what it always wanted: a cold night to think things over.”
Joaquín de los Cerros, Bodega Los Cerros
