A refined Malbec from the high-altitude vineyards of Gualtallary

Gran Malbec de Potrero is an elegant Argentine red wine from Gualtallary, one of the most highly regarded areas of Mendoza’s Uco Valley. Made from 100% Malbec grapes grown at 1,350 metres above sea level at the foot of the Tupungato Volcano, it is a characterful wine shaped by the region’s stony, limestone-rich soils and striking mountain climate.

This is a Malbec with real sense of place. Its high-altitude vineyards bring together the concentration of warm, sunny days with the freshness created by cool nights in the Andes. The wine is matured in French oak for 12 months, building depth and complexity while allowing Gualtallary’s distinctive Malbec character to shine through.

If you are looking for a more special bottle of Argentine Malbec, this is a superb choice for a dinner party, a steak night or a thoughtful gift for a red-wine lover. Enjoy it with grilled beef, Argentine asado, roast lamb, slow-cooked dishes, rich pasta or mature cheese.

The story behind the wine

Gran Malbec de Potrero is made by Vinos de Potrero, whose red-wine vineyards lie in Gualtallary, a small high-altitude micro-region in the Uco Valley. The vineyards are located at the foot of the Tupungato Volcano, where deep alluvial soils contain sandy loam, stones and a high proportion of limestone.

The demanding terrain and wide temperature swings between warm days and cold nights help create grapes with concentration while retaining natural acidity. Vinos de Potrero works with several small neighbouring vineyard plots, selecting each parcel for the wine it will become. This vineyard-led approach gives Gran Malbec de Potrero its distinctive Gualtallary identity.
