Malma Universo Malbec Patagonia Argentina, 2017

‘We have achieved our dream: we have put inside every bottle the silence, the colour and the mystery of this far away valley’

 

The Vastness of Patagonia Describes a boundless universe. The ancient Mapuches regarded stars as deities and the Southern Cross constellation as the footprint of a Ñandú, the sacred animal. The thousands of stars surrounding this constellation were pictured as “boleadoras” catching the Ñandú, Mapuches’ sacred food. Our sky, blessed by the original civilizations, describes what only few chosen people can learn and appreciate, our Patagonian Universe.

 

Winemaker Tasting Notes

Intense red colour with purple highlights. Aromas of ripe plums and violets. On the palate, it is fruity and spicy; with hints of vanilla and caramel after being aged in French oak barrels. Elegant and well-structured wine with a long finish.

The Winery

The origin of NQN winery can be traced back to 2001, when in San Patricio del Chañar, the Viola family developed a winemaking project which was unthinkable at that time, and that involved the transformation of 2000 hectares of Patagonian dessert into an ideal bed of vineyards. NQN is part of this development, placed in a region of excellent weather conditions for vine growing and a wide temperature range, essential elements to reach a slow grape ripening, while favoring the accumulation of sugars, acids and flavors.
