"A very fine expression of Argentine Malbec from the heights of the Uco Valley!"
"On the nose, there's plenty of wild herbs, thyme, sour cherries and garrigues. The palate is lively and juicy, with a medium-bodied body full of fine-grained tannins. Quite impeccable. Drink or cellar. (James Suckling 2023)

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (guide 2023) 92/100 (Wonderful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Petite Fleur Malbec 2021 was produced with Vista Flores grapes of good ripeness that reached 14.8% alcohol after stainless steel fermentation followed by malolactic fermentation in barrel, and 80% of the volume was aged in 225-liter used French oak barrels for 12 months. The wine is quite fruity, with notes of black fruit rather than red fruit, it's easy to drink despite its structure, it goes well with food and it's easy to understand. The palate is smooth and the tannins bright. Seductive and rich. 2023-2027

About the wine:
Petite Fleur 2021 Malbec comes from Campo Los Andes in the Uco Valley and has been aged at 80% for 12 months in used French oak barrels. Purple color. The fruity nose offers notes of plum, redcurrant, mint and herbs on a background of oak. Indulgent and juicy on the palate, taut tannins and measured, discreet acidity precede a persistent finish of ripe fruit. 2023-2032
