Esperando Los Barbaros by Matias Michelini

Region: Tupungato, Valle de Uco, Argentina

Tasting Notes:

A pure expression of high altitude Malbec with loads of fresh red fruits and blackberries followed by notes of dark chocolate. It is medium-bodied, with firm structure and refreshing acidity.

The Producer:

"My project was born in 2009, after many years making wines in various Argentine wineries. I learned a lot during those years, developing my understanding of the vines, the grapes, the wines. But I reached a point where I was asked to make wines to fit a market demand, while the terroirs of Argentina had a different story to tell and that filled my heart with anxiety. I started my own project to make wines that tell the real story of our landscapes and our farmers."
