Product description

The vineyard was planted in 2008. The grapes were selected from parcel Nº 4 of our estate located in Pedernal Valey at 
1,400 masl, set in a unique terroir that’s virgin and untamed. Irrigation water is supplied by meltwater and rain, and is 
distributed to the plants by drip irrigation systems. The alluvial soils are composed of variously sized coarse gravels of 
varying compositions (with a preponderance of limestone and Pedernal flint, among others), along with finer materials such as sand, silt and clays deposited in layers. Soils are poor, with low percentages of organic matter, but with optimal water retention and distribution, and also have very good drainage with little evidence of compaction. The trelis-trained vineyard contains 5,000 plants per hectare.

Intense violet red in colour with black glints. Great elegance and complexity on the nose, with notes of fresh red and black fruit and the aromatic herbs characteristic of the region. Very good acidity and freshness in the mouth, mouth-filling roundness, and very present fine-textured tannins. The finish is long and persistent.

 

Reviews

93 Decanter The Pyros vineyard boasts silex-rich calcareous soils that lend an exotic profile to its wines. Made by Paula González, the Block #4 was barrel-aged for 18 months. The nose presents plum, mountain herbs, balsamic notes and smoky oak aromas, then in the mouth it’s intense and compact with tart acidity from the altitude, which adds to a fresh character channelled by chalky tannins before a lengthy finish.

92 James Suckling A full-bodied red with round, creamy tannins and plenty of fruit, yet it’s fresh. Nicely done from this area. Drink or hold.

91 Wine Enthusiast Coming from Pedernal, a new wine region just north of Mendoza province, this Malbec has a spicy and vegetal character. Subtle aromas of oak spice are followed by cassis, blackberry and a touch of salt. The full-weight palate delivers plums and blackberry mixed with Jarilla, rosemary and smoke. It has a mineral texture matched by splendid acidity. It's ready to enjoy now, but will benefit from bottle aging.
