✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Bella Vista is a crown jewel in Achaval Ferrer's single-vineyard trilogy, sourced from an extraordinary ungrafted Malbec vineyard planted in 1910 in Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo. Situated at 990 meters above sea level on the south bank of the Mendoza River, these centenarian vines dig deep into clay-loam soils layered over river stones. This unique terroir, combined with extremely low yields, coaxes out a remarkably elegant, aromatic, and feminine expression of Malbec. The wine is fermented in small cement tanks and aged for approximately 12 to 15 months in new French oak barrels, bottled without fining or filtration to preserve its pure, site-specific character. It stands as a testament to Argentina's pre-phylloxera viticultural heritage, offering a velvety texture and floral complexity that defines world-class Malbec.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1998 by a visionary group of Argentine and Italian partners including Santiago Achaval, Manuel Ferrer, and acclaimed winemaker Roberto Cipresso, Achaval Ferrer is an iconic estate located in Mendoza, Argentina. The winery is celebrated for championing century-old, ungrafted vines situated in high-altitude terroirs across Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. Dedicated to minimal intervention, strict canopy management, and radically low yields, the estate focuses on capturing the unadulterated essence of distinct terroirs. Achaval Ferrer is world-renowned for its critically acclaimed single-vineyard Malbec collection—featuring Finca Altamira, Finca Bella Vista, and Finca Mirador—alongside its complex, elegant red blend, Quimera.
