Description

Proyecto Las Compuertas from Bodega Renacer is a Malbec that embodies the essence of the Valle de Uco in Mendoza. The wine is sourced from the Las Compuertas vineyard, known for its old vines and high altitude, which contributes to the wine's concentrated flavors and elegant structure. The region of Valle de Uco is famed for its cool climate and high altitude vineyards, which are ideal for producing Malbec with vibrant acidity, intense aromatics, and exceptional aging potential. Bodega Renacer is committed to crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir of Mendoza, combining traditional winemaking techniques with modern innovation.

This Malbec displays a deep ruby color and aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, along with subtle floral notes of violets and hints of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. The wine offers a balanced acidity, leading to a long and satisfying finish. It is an excellent accompaniment to grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty pasta dishes. The wine’s structure also makes it suitable for aging, allowing it to develop further complexity and nuance over time. The wine is traditionally produced with a careful selection of grapes and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in French oak barrels. This process ensures that the wine maintains its fresh fruit character while gaining complexity from the oak.

Pair this wine with a grilled Argentine steak seasoned with chimichurri, or a hearty lentil stew. The wine’s fruit-forward profile and balanced acidity make it versatile for a wide range of dishes. The wine should be served slightly chilled, around 16°C, to highlight its aromatic complexity. Open the bottle at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the wine to fully express its aromas and flavors.

Proyecto Las Compuertas Malbec is not just a wine; it is a reflection of the passion and dedication of Bodega Renacer to showcase the best of Mendoza’s terroir. It is a wine that embodies the soul of Argentina, offering a taste of its rich winemaking heritage and the unique character of the Valle de Uco. Experience the complexity and depth of this exceptional Malbec, and let it transport you to the scenic vineyards of Mendoza with every sip.
