Winemaker Notes
Proprietor Guillermo Donnerstag can be found in the vineyard virtually any day of the year, and inside the bodega he is assisted by the skilled hands of enologist Pedro Rosell. Guillermo is extremely lucky with his access to high quality vineyards in La Consulta (Uco Valley) and Vistalba. Loaded with personality and gusto, his wines are some of the most interesting examples of Malbec we import.
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
