The 2019 Flechas de los Andes Gran Corte is a remarkable blend, showcasing 55% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Syrah. This full-bodied wine, aged in 100% new French oak barrels, presents a deep, brooding nose with aromas of blue and purple fruit, violets, and spices, with hints of asphalt. The palate is fleshy and round, with fine-grained tannins and a balanced, flavorful finish. Ripe and powerful, yet refined, this wine has a bright, fresh finish and is best enjoyed after 2025. It has excellent aging potential, promising to evolve beautifully through 2029.

A profound and brooding nose with blue and purple fruit and flowers. Spices, violets and a hint of asphalt. A co-fermentation of malbec and cabernet franc. Very fleshy and round on the full-bodied palate with plenty of fine-grained tannins and a flavorful finish. Better after 2025.

The 2019 Gran Corte is still a bit oaky after the wine matured in 100% new French oak barrels. It's a slightly different blend each year, and in 2019 it is 55% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Franc and 5% Syrah that ripened thoroughly to 14.5% alcohol, making the wine ripe and a bit heady, powerful but balanced and with abundant, fine-grained tannins. 10,000 bottles were filled in October 2021.

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.

2019 Ageing potential: Here is a wine that summarizes 15 years of evolution, of the terroir, of the winery and of the people. Drink between 2023 and 2029.

Tasting notes: Deep and bright appearance, concentrated with purple reflections. More compact aromas and a palate in harmony with the nose. Clean and fresh, with a very good balance between fruit character and ageing in oak. Fresh and wide finish.
