ACHAVAL FERRER Finca Mirador 2018

HK$930.00

The vineyard was planted in 1921 over an ancient dry riverbed in Medrano. Mirador is sun, sand and furious heat; and although water is no longer flowing through this dry river, a cool breeze comes down every night and helps to maintain the natural acidity of this full ripened Malbec.

“Plenty of plummy fruit with cherries and flowers on the nose, as well as walnuts. Full-bodied with round, juicy tannins and lots of spicy fruit at the finish. Hints of vanilla with the fruit at the end.” – James Suckling, 94 Points

“From Medrano, Junín, the 2018 Malbec Finca Mirador spent 15 months in new barrels. Dark purple in hue, the aromas offer ripe plum and blackberry jam with hints of balsam and bay leaf over secondary oaky notes. Potent in the mouth with alcoholic energy and mild freshness, the intense jammy flavors are accompanied by delicate tannins. This is a smooth wine of surprising delicacy given how concentrated it is.” – Vinous, 94 Points

Argentina

Argentina is one of the major wine countries in the world.

Out of all of the wines that Argentina produces, it is perhaps best known for creating outstanding Malbecs. They are representing almost half of red varieties cultivated area in the country.

The most highly rated Malbec wines originate from Mendoza. They are located in the foothills of the Andes mountains between 850 and 1,520 m.

A Malbec is a wine that is known for having a strong and fruity flavor and a very smooth texture and finish. It is allowing to enjoy an exciting flavor that is delightful to drink. It is a rich and dark wine that some say has a flavor that can be compared to a plum.

Achaval Ferrer

Founded in 1998, Achaval Ferrer has become one of the best producers of Argentinean wines from the Mendoza mountains.

It is a small winery – 54 hectares – focused quality.

Low yields allow the vineyards to express their personality in the grapes.

Low intervention winemaking allows the grapes to fully express their vineyard in the bottle.

The outstanding reputation came from their Fincas, single Malbec vineyards.

The vines range in age from 70 to over 110 years old and are un-grafted. Aged for 15 months in new French oak barrels.

The Fincas have their own unique personalities and profiles. However, they are united by the common threads of rich, dark berry fruit flavors and aromas. Hints of espresso and leather and lifted with floral notes and noticeable minerality.
