Tahuan Malbec 750ML

Sometimes, new, marvelous places produce sensations in our mind and body. Such was my good fortune when I first encountered the Tahuantinsuyu, the realm of the Inca culture. The Incas conquered most of the Andean tribes through commerce and religion, not war. In their quest for union they built a network of roads connecting all the Andean micro-cultures from Quito to Mendoza. It is on one such road that I once dreamed of honoring the culture of the Tahuantinsuyu, "quechua" expression for "The Four Lands United". Tahuan wines are 100% varietal from selected old vineyards at the foothill of the Andes Mountains. After fermenting in small tanks, they are aged in American and French barrels for no less than 8 months, and then kept in bottle until ready to be released. These wines best reflect how Mendoza's unique terroir can influence the "varietal" personality. Ernesto Catena
