Tasting note

Immersed in an intimate environment of diverse vegetation, among palm trees, fig trees, white carob trees and a beautiful jacaranda tree, the grapes that we obtain from this vineyard have a character of wild herbs that are reflected in a unique wine, like the place where it comes from.

Viticulture

El Porvenir's most elevated and biodiverse estate, Alto Los Cuises, is located on steep slopes, deep in the Sierra del Quilmes. They use the Inca farming method of planting Malbec and Chardonnay on established terraces. Here you will find mortars made by local indigenous tribes, as well as abundant native flora and fauna, guaranteeing ecological balance.

Vinification

Hand-harvested whole bunches are gently pressed, then the must is chilled for ~18 hours and fermented with native yeasts in 500L French oak at 12–16°C. Barrels are sealed to retain natural CO₂, with no sulfites added. Regular bâtonnage keeps fine lees suspended during 6–7 months’ aging before bottling at peak balance.

Food Match

Buttery seafood like robster or scallops, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, and even dishes featuring mushrooms or truffles. Creamy soft cheeses.
