"This is a new wine from a single parcel with spicy mineral, white pepper, blackberry and bark notes. Medium-bodied with firm, open, crunchy tannins that are fine grained. Made and aged in concrete. No wood. Drink now."

"The 2021 Malbec Jardin de Hormigas Meteora originates from Paraje Altamira and was aged for 12 months in concrete vessels. Purple in hue. The subtle, nuanced nose features violet, sage and fennel notes alongside plum and blackberry. It has a dry, lean, chalky texture with an athletic, focused profile in which the energy and mouthfeel enhance the light-footed character. The 2021 is a modern, beautifully sculpted red."
