Why We Like It
Magna Montis want you to know that there’s more to Mendoza’s Uco Valley than just altitude, although at between 1,000 and 1,700m about sea level, they have that one nailed.
A sense of place is what they want to bring to to the bottle. Manual harvest, organic practices, spontaneous fermentation, and a decent amount of whole bunch, is what they say reflects not just the mountainous terrain, but the soils, winds and pure mountain water that feeds the vines.
These are wonderfully pure expressions of the mountain wines that Argentina is capable of producing when in the right hands.
What To Expect
We didn’t think we’d list a Malbec unless we found one that really hit the spot for us. Magna Montis’ M-word hit the spot sooner than we thought. It’s chock full or clean, intense blackcurrant, but it’s not just a one trick pony. Notes of violets, blackcurrant leaf and pink peppercorns bring plenty of complexity. A world of advice? A long decant will do wonders for this bottle.
