If you are looking for a wine with character, complexity, and the soul of the mountains, Vuelo Andino Blend Alado is the perfect choice. This Argentinian red wine is a refined and expressive blend that combines the power and freshness of Malbec with the depth of Petit Verdot, achieving a masterful balance.

Coming from three exceptional areas of Mendoza — Altamira, El Peral, and Vista Flores —, this wine is made up of 60% Altamira Malbec, 20% El Peral Malbec, and 20% Vista Flores Petit Verdot. The vineyards are located between 1150 and 1300 meters above sea level, ensuring a temperate climate with cool nights close to harvest, ideal for slow and complete grape ripening.

The soils vary depending on the origin of the plots: from medium-textured calcareous and rocky soils to loamy-sandy soils with pebbles. This diversity of terroirs brings complexity, structure, and aromatic richness to the final wine.

The vineyard management includes surface irrigation by furrow and trellis training. The harvest is manual, in small boxes, with a careful selection of berries on a double sorting table, and with prior cooling in a chamber to ensure controlled and precise fermentation.

The winemaking process includes a prolonged pre-fermentation maceration to extract the maximum color and aromas, followed by fermentation at temperatures between 20 and 24°C with selected yeasts. The wine remains in contact with its skins for approximately 15 days, developing body, structure, and elegance.

The aging is a key point in this blend: it spends 18 months in second-use French oak barrels, which adds complexity without masking the wine's fruity character, and then 15 months in bottle to refine and reach its optimal expression.

The Vuelo Andino Blend Alado is ideal for pairing with red meats, game dishes, aged cheeses, or enjoying on its own on a special occasion.

If you want to buy an Argentinian red wine with Andean personality, structure, and elegance, this blend is a safe choice.
