WINE REGION:
Mendoza
Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Miguel Aime Pouget
Countless individuals have altered enological history. While many of their tales go untold, their impacts continue to shape the story of wine. We aim to celebrate the spirit of research and discovery through our wines by recognizing one of the wine world's lesser-known influential people. Miguel Aime Pouget was a French explorer who brought the first Malbec rootstock to Argentina from its French homeland. Today Malbec and Argentina are synonymous with one another, and they offer some of the best examples of this timeless varietal. Let's raise our glasses and "Salud" to Miguel and the spirit of exploration.
