The 2023 vintage in Agrelo, Mendoza, will be remembered for its contrast between challenge and exceptional quality. Despite adverse weather conditions, including early frost and severe drought, the region produced grapes that promise exceptional wines. Yields were low, with losses between 60% and 70% in many areas, but what was lost in quantity was made up for in quality.
The Malbec from Agrelo particularly shone in the 2023 vintage, displaying remarkable color and aromatic concentration, along with silky, well-structured tannins. The precise timing of the harvest
captured the vibrant natural acidity and the mineral profile characteristic of the region—key factors that promise excellent aging potential for these wines.
The combination of early harvesting and meticulous vineyard management resulted in wines with an elegant and refined character. This vintage should be savored in small sips, with its perfect balance of freshness and complexity—a true tribute to the resilience and skill of Agrelo's winemakers.
