Bodega Monteviejo is situated in the Uco Valley, south of Mendoza, near the Andes. One notable aspect of this winery is its strong affiliation with Bordeaux, which is evident in the characteristics of its wines. The emphasis is on Argentina's renowned grape varieties such as Malbec, Chardonnay, and Torrontes, and blends reminiscent of Bordeaux-style wines. Overall, the wines produced by Bodega Monteviejo are highly coveted within the realm of Argentine wines.
'La Violeta' Malbec is the top of Bodega Monteviejo's line, aged for 24-36 months in French oak barrels and five years in bottle. The goal is to age the wine in a bottle for up to ten years before it is released. The wine is produced on stony soils with limestone, and the Malbec grapes are harvested exclusively by hand. Up to 10% Cabernet Franc is also present here. Ripe, powerful, and full-bodied, it will certainly appeal to connoisseurs of Bordeaux wines with a style closer to Pomerol. This is a Malbec designed for a long life. Decadent and hedonistic, with plenty of everything.
