Vineyard & Winemaking
Finca Los Nobles is located in Vistalba, one of Mendoza’s most respected Malbec terroirs. The vineyard benefits from:
• High-altitude vineyards in the foothills of the Andes
• Alluvial soils that provide excellent drainage
• Warm sunny days and cool nights that enhance flavour concentration
Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness before undergoing cold maceration to preserve aromatic complexity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using gentle extraction techniques such as pump-overs and délestage. The wine is then matured in French oak barrels for around 12 months, adding structure and subtle spice to the final blend.
The small addition of Petit Verdot enhances colour, structure, and ageing potential.
Food Pairing
The richness and structure of this premium Malbec make it a perfect partner for robust dishes.
Ideal pairings include:
• Grilled rib-eye steak
• Argentine asado or barbecue
• Roast lamb with rosemary
• Braised beef short ribs
• Mature cheeses such as Manchego or aged cheddar
Serve slightly below room temperature at 16–18°C for the best expression of aromas and flavour.
