Puro Malbec Grape Selection is crafted from a rigorous selection of the estate\u0026#39;s finest grapes from two distinct terroirs: half of the grapes come from... One half of the vineyards come from Agrelo Alto in the Luján de Cuyo department, the other from the Tupungato area (named after the volcano of the same name) in the Uco Valley. Both areas cultivate their vineyards using certified organic methods. A further characteristic of both origins is their high alpine altitude, which, with its distinct fluctuations between warm daytime and cold nighttime temperatures, slows down the natural ripening process. This allows the grapes to gradually develop their full aromatic and phenolic ripeness, resulting in wines with a fine balance of intense fruit, ripe tannins, and lively acidity. What clearly distinguishes the two areas, however, are the soils. In Agrelo, alluvial soils produce a dense, fruit-driven Malbec with aromas of black fruit, while the poor soils in Tupungato impart elegant floral notes and a noticeable mineral character to the wine.","brand":"Puro Dieter Meier","offers":[{"title":"2021","offer_id":52694873112912,"sku":"V08300","price":33.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2022","offer_id":53093140824400,"sku":"V08300-2022","price":33.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/vinoscout_puro_malbec_grapes_selection.webp?v=1771237778"},{"product_id":"puro-malbec","title":"Puro Malbec","description":"The Malbec grapes for Dieter Meier\u0026#39;s Puro grow in the high-altitude vineyards of Luján de Cuyo.
