FLECHAS DE LOS ANDES

Gran Corte

Expressive, powerful and structured.

THE BIRTH OF A GREAT NEW WORLD VINTAGE

A PIONEERING CHALLENGE

This partnership between the two families, as well as their common desire to produce an outstanding Argentine wine, gave birth to Flechas de los Andes Gran Corte, a fine blend made mostly of Malbec.

TASTING NOTES

The typical Malbec from Argentina marks its identity wih its aromas of violet and prunes. Malbec is a very intense wine and it is Cabernet-Franc who brings elegance and subtlety with very soft tannins and rose aromas. All these components provide the complexity and elegance wich are necesary for a great wine.

Bright with a slight opalescent hue, as well as ruby ​​and tile reflections.

Clean, intense and delicate aromas, with evident evolution notes. There is oak, leather, and scented dried spices. Also some raisins and moist soil; all given by the aging process.

It maintains a very good freshness and a consistent mid palate. Chewy textures highlight the liqueur-like hints, with touches of black smoke and moist soil.  Persistent finish with notes of aging, leather and carpentry.

Note: Although this wine surprises by the cleanliness of its expressions, it will no longer gain more attributes with aging. It can still be kept for 3 to 4 years. Uncork between 2021 and 2025

Bright and deep, with a ruby ​​hue.

Clean and delicate aromas that refer to black fruits and moist soil. There are not many evolution notes, but there is a true delicacy in the expression.

On the palate the wine is fluid, fresh and not very concentrated. Incipient tannins, ripe fruit, spices and some smoke. Very honest and voluptuous with liquorice and spices. Very good grip and even some tension with smoky hints through the persistent finish.

Note: Although this vintage’s best moment has past, this wine can continue to evolve and gain more elegance. Drink now through 2028.

Deep ruby with slight opalescence.

Clean and slightly intense aromas, with a subtle delicate herbal and black fruit hint. Some moist soil and not many evolution notes.

Fluid palate without revealing too much. A natural evolution yet still maintaining good fruit.  A sustained acidity that highlights the tannins. Medium body and a finish that combines evolution and fruit.

Note: Although it took time to open, it did not show the consistency to continue evolving favourably with aging. It can still be kept for a couple of years. Uncork between 2021 and 2023.

Deep ruby ​, bright and with good concentration.

Note: This ten-year-old wine is still alive and has good potential since the evolution has not started yet, it will continue this constant path and develop more complexity. Uncork or store until 2026.
