Belasco de Baquedano Guentota Old Vine Malbec 2011

Belasco De Baquedano is located at the base of the Aconcagua mountains, among the highest peaks in South Americas. They grow exclusively from original, French clones and boast some incredibly old vines, some have been growing for over 100 years. They practice green methods of growing in the crisp, pollution-free air with irrigation fed by glacial melts of naturally pure, melted snow. They specialize in the varieties the Mendoza region is best known for; Malbec and Torrontes and in each produce long lived, robust examples of the grapes. AR Guentota roughly translates to 'Cuyo's soul' in the language of the native Huarpes Indians - the first inhabitants of Mendoza river valley's Cuyo region.
