Region:

Valle de Uco / Uco Valley

Don't let the term "valley" fool you. Perched over 3,000 feet above sea level in the shadow of the Andes, the Uco Valley is home to Mendoza's highest vineyards. At this lofty altitude, the cold nights help retain the acidity and delicate aromas in the grapes as they ripen. The result? Blissfuly flavorful wines with plenty of backbone and a characteristic floral twist. Malbec is particularly exceptional, with subtle iris notes joining typical flavors of mocha, sugarplum and blackberry. The Uco Valley region is also known for its fantastic whites, usually made from Chardonnay and Torrontés.
