Vintages New Release Collection – February 21, 2026

MALBEC Malbecs made from grapes grown at lower altitudes tend to be big and concentrated, while those sourced from sites planted at higher altitudes are lithe, elegant, and reflect a more refined, floral character. By blending grapes from the same vineyard but planted at different altitudes, producers create wines that combine the best of both styles. A uniquely Argentine advantage. DOÑA PAULA EL ALTO SINGLE VINEYARD MALBEC 2023 Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, sustainable, vegan From a vineyard planted in 1975, this Malbec is crafted in the style that first caught the attention of the world. A classic expression of a classic grape. 92 points (Patricio Tapia,
