A short history
There is a difference between tasting Malbec and standing in the vineyard that grew it, glass in hand, the Andes filling the window. If the grape's story has done its job on you, the obvious next step is to go — to walk the rows in Luján de Cuyo where it all began, or climb into the Uco Valley where it's being reinvented.

A grape that crossed an ocean to become itself deserves to be met on its own ground.
