✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Finca Mirador is a legendary single-vineyard Malbec that tells the story of Mendoza's viticultural survival. Planted in 1921 in the Medrano region, this ungrafted, centenarian vineyard thrives on heavy clay-loam soils at an elevation of roughly 700 meters. Unlike its sibling Finca Altamira, Mirador benefits from a slightly warmer microclimate, yielding a Malbec of immense concentration, dark fruit intensity, and a distinct mineral, graphite-like complexity. Achaval Ferrer's meticulous, low-intervention winemaking—including extremely low yields of just a few bunches per vine and aging in French oak—preserves the pure, untamed voice of this historic site.
