Finca Suarez, Malbec Paraje Altamira, 2022
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Forget what you think you know about Malbec. At 1,200 meters in Paraje Altamira, one of the Uco Valley’s most distinctive subzones, Finca Suárez is making wines that lean into freshness, transparency, and site expression. The 2022 Malbec is fermented with native yeasts, aged in concrete, and bottled without adornment—a minimalist approach that lets the vineyard do the talking.
The result is a wine that feels almost alpine: violet-laced aromatics, crunchy red fruit, and a streak of wild herbs, all wrapped in fine, chalky tannins. There’s no oak to distract from the purity—just acidity, texture, and a clear sense of place. It reads closer to a cool-climate Syrah or Cru Beaujolais than the heavier, oak-driven style Malbec is often known for.
A natural fit for roast chicken, grilled vegetables, or anything where freshness matters more than weight. For Pinot lovers curious about Mendoza, or Malbec drinkers ready for a more vertical expression, Finca Suárez delivers something quietly compelling.
