✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Mirador is one of Achaval-Ferrer's legendary single-vineyard Malbecs, sourced from a centenarian vineyard planted in 1921 in the Medrano region of Mendoza. Unlike its sibling Finca Altamira, which thrives on stony soils, Mirador is defined by its heavy clay-loam soils and a slightly warmer microclimate. This unique terroir yields an incredibly dark, voluptuous, and structured Malbec. The ancient, ungrafted vines produce minuscule yields of highly concentrated fruit, which are fermented with minimal intervention and aged in 100% new French oak barrels. The result is a wine of profound depth, showcasing black fruit, graphite, and spice, representing a masterclass in Argentine terroir expression.
🍾 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.
