Matas Riccitelli, born in the charming village of Cafayate, Salta, Argentina, where wine is deeply woven into the culture, embarked on a journey as a winemaker after training at one of the countrys most renowned wineries. A passionate traveler and dreamer, Matas honed his craft through global harvests, gaining invaluable experience along the way. In 2009, combining his extensive knowledge with the guidance of his father and mentor, Jorge Riccitelli, he founded Riccitelli Wines. Located in Las Compuertas, at 1,100 meters above sea level in Lujn de Cuyo, Mendoza, the winery embodies Matas\' vision of crafting exceptional wines from Argentinas high-altitude terroirs.

This Malbec beautifully reflects the character of its origin. Sourced from calcareous soils in a cool-climate site at 1,500 metres above sea level, it hails from the highest and most extreme vineyard within the Los Chacayes GI in the Uco Valley.

Offering an intensely aromatic profile, with layers of black and blue fruits, herbal florals, and savoury notes of bitter chocolate and leather, balanced by sweet spice. The palate is dense and richly textured, supported by vibrant acidity and well-integrated, ripe tannins. Bold fruit flavours unfold alongside hints of tea leaf and lavender, culminating in a refined, mineral-driven finish.
