Região: Valle do Uco - Mendoza - Argentina
Uvas: Malbec
Já selecionamos outrora um Malbec Argentino do Valle do Uco. Naquela ocasião, contamos aos associados que a Malbec é a uva emblema da Argentina, a segunda uva mais plantada naquele país... e que desperta paixões e produz os melhores vinhos argentinos...
Seria impossível não selecioná-la mais de uma vez!
O Valle do Uco é a região produtora de vinhos com maior altitude no país. O produtor deste vinho, Goughenhein Winery, tem sua propriedade em Tupungato, pitoresca zona do Vale do Uco. A mais de 1.200 metros sobre o nível do mar, na Cordilheira dos Andes, a zona possui um clima desértico com mais de 320 dias de sol ao ano e onde a agua, que irriga os vinhedos, é proveniente das montanhas. Com este cenário perfeito, dedicação e expertise do produtor nasceu esta excelente seleção.
Um brinde a todos!

Born in Argentina to French parents, Patricio Gouguenheim's love for wine started at the age of 7 when he was given a little bit of wine (mixed with sparkling water!) with every meal. No doubt this was a catalyst for him entering the world of wine later on in life. During the years 1999 to 2002, Patricio's job (mergers and acquisitions) took him to Mendoza, now the epicentre of Argentina's wine industry.
It was at that time when he envisioned that it was the right time for Argentine wines to gain international reputation in the world markets. It was during the year 2002, when Argentina went into a big economic crash and GDP collapsed that he decided to enter the wine market (as everyone else was leaving). He found a very old winery located in the Uco Valley, with a lot of small tanks ideal for the production of high quality wines, and that was the start of his venture in this wonderful, crazy business! He hung up his suit and tie, and started working in the great outdoors. Since its beginning the winery has become one of the best performing/top quality wineries in Argentina, with its wines currently sold in 15 countries.
