2020 Lagarde ‘Primeras Vinas’ Gualtallary Vineyard Malbec 750ML
2020 Lagarde ‘Primeras Vinas’ Gualtallary Vineyard Malbec 750ML Primeras Viñas Malbec: Is our malbec red wine made with grapes from our centennial vineyards, planted in 1906 and 1930.
“I love the nuanced nose of the 2020 Primeras Viñas Malbec Gualtallary—it’s varietal, elegant and complex, with tons of flowers, herbs and aromatic plants. It has a fine texture and chalky, elegant tannins. This has 13.6% alcohol and very good freshness, acidity and terrific balance. Superb, a triumph over the adverse conditions of the year (in all senses). 6,000 bottles were filled in December 2021.” 95pts Parker’s WA
Parker, “This is simply superb,” this is an extremely limited release from one of the oldest wineries in Mendoza. The region “producing some of Mendoza’s most compelling wines,” according to James Suckling, is Gualtallary, whose high elevation and poor, stony, and calcium-rich soils are wowing critics with wines of stunning intensity and longevity. Argentina has now proven itself for making some of the greatest big reds in the world and they can do so at prices way below other countries. Today’s wine is the one of the finest examples of this. This voluptuous powerhouse is brough to us by the Pescarmona family who have owned the 120 year Lagarde Estate since 1969. The 2020 Lagarde ‘Primeras Vinas’ Gualtallary Vineyard Malbec has received a monster 95pts by Parker’s WA and our price on the wine is excellent and to the lucky few who are able to secure this wine. Enjoy, about as good as big red wine gets at $37.99
