Winemaker Notes

Gualtallary is located in the northern Uco Valley, in the county of Tupungato, at an altitude of 5,000’ elevation. It is the last vineyard district before the Andean foothills.

A floral expression that accompanies the fresh red fruit. Lively acidity and a mineral finish.

RP 96

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

One of two wines from Gualtallary, the 2015 La Verdad Gualtallary is a co-fermentation of Malbec and Cabernet Franc from a 25-year-old vineyard at some 1,500 meters in altitude, which usually produces very fresh wines. The whole range is produced and aged in a very similar way to highlight the differences provided by the different places. My favorite of the 2015 collection, it has great freshness, super fine tannins and great minerality. This comes from cold soils that produce serious wines.

James Suckling

Aromas of blueberries, blackberries and black truffles follow through to a full body. Has a tight and chewy structure and a fresh, lively finish. Hot stone undertones, too. Drink in 2020 but already excellent.

Buscado Vivo o Muerto

View all products

Buscado Vivo o Muerto was born of the drive to produce unconventional wines. Wine exploring marginal, often forgotten terroirs. Vineyards with singular soils and unconventional varietals. The search was long, extensive, tireless, and often frustrating. It led them to the far southern Uco Valley in Las Pareditas and high in the Andean foothills to discover the subtleties of Gualtallary. They went in pursuit of something evasive, difficult to define.

Uco Valley Wine

Mendoza, Argentina

View all products

With a winning combination of cool weather, high elevation and well-draining alluvial soils, it is no surprise that Mendoza’s Uco Valley is one of the most exciting up-and-coming wine regions in Argentina. Healthy, easy-to-manage vines produce low yields of high-quality fruit, which in turn create flavorful, full-bodied wines with generous acidity.

This is the source of some of the best Malbec in Mendoza, which can range from value-priced to ultra-premium. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay also perform well here.

Bordeaux Blends

View all products

One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.
