THINGS TO KNOW
This estate has been devoted to organic production since it inception in
2001, when just 57 hectares (roughly 140 acres) of vines were planted. The
winery had the distinct advantage of starting with virgin soil, meaning that
it was unplanted and needed much work to clear larger rocks and stones. They
used vines from certified organic nurseries to begin the project and have
been hugely successful. This is in no small part due to the work the team
did before even planting a vine. As most of the vineyards in Argentina are
in the foothills of the Andes, location (altitude in particular) has a major
effect on quality. At 1,110 meters (approximately 3,641 feet), Las Yeguas
is well situated to capitalize on both cooler temperatures for slower maturation,
and increased ultraviolet exposure (from the sun), which creates riper fruit.
This altitude is a major contributor to the quality of wines from Argentina.
Additionally, Luyán de Cuyo is a sub-appellation of Mendoza, just
south of the city, that is particularly known for its Malbec wine. The wine
is extremely elegant, with ripe currant and kirsch flavors. This will pair
with just about anything meaty, like skirt steak with chimichurri. |
