Xavier Flouret La Pilar Malbec

Winery Story

In the end of the 19th century, Don Eugenio Bustos founded a town that today carries his name near the Finca la Celia winery. Don was a pion... (more...)eer of viticulture, first planting 1,000 hectares of Malbec in the Uco Valley in 1890. Recently acquired by San Pedro Wine Group (CCU) in 2000 the winery is now 600 hectares.

Tasting Note

This wine has an intense ruby-red color with hints of violet. A very expressive and elegant nose reflects a perfect mix between black ripe f... (more...)ruit, violets, spices and tobacco. Good structure in the mouth with rounded, sweet and velvety tannins lead to a long finish.

Full body (as a good Malbec should be) but also very elegant + smooth tannins.
