Miguel Aime Pouget
Mendoza, Argentina
A classic expression for the Malbec enthusiast
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Miguel Aime Pouget
Malbec
Our 2021 vintage of Miguel Aime Pouget is everything an Argentinian Malbec lover looks for. Each sip showcases ripe and jammy dark fruit flavors with underlying earthiness. Mendoza and Malbec's harmonious relationship is why this grape is more often associated with Argentina than its French homeland. The region's combination of altitude, sunlight and diverse soil types bring out Malbec's rich fruit flavors, balanced acidity and smooth tannins. Our local winemaking partners have spent the last 100 years honing their craft. Today, they tend to over 2000 acres of vineyard with vines that range between 30 and 80 years old. Like the people who look after them, these vines have stood the test of time, producing wines that honor the history of the land and the dedication of generations.

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.

TASTING NOTES:
Blackcurrant
Blackberry
Bramble
The nose is seduced by a symphony of rich, dark fruit aromas that evoke the untamed beauty of wild brambled bushes of sun-ripened berries. Luscious, jammy flavors of ripe blackberry, succulent blackcurrant, and plump plum dance on the palate creating a velvet-smooth balance. As each sip fades, the vibrant fruit softens, gracefully yielding to an earthy embrace.

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.
