From: Mendoza, Argentina
Varietal: Malbec

Taste & Critical Acclaim: Winemaker Notes. Aromas of red cherries, raspberries, and violets along with notes of toasty oak. On the palate, fresh berries with spice and a hint of soft caramel on the finish.

Spiced cherries, blueberries, coffee and a hint of hazelnuts. Fluid and crunchy on the medium-bodied palate with firm, gritty tannins followed by a medium-length finish. Fresh, light and elegant, but nicely drinkable.

The 2022 Malbec La Posta Paulucci, from Ugarteche, Luján de Cuyo, was 50% aged in oak barrels (15% new). Purple in color, the fruit-forward nose features plums and violets, along with a vanilla-oak layer. Dry, rich and supple, the tannin-less mouthfeel provides a lovely texture. This is a sapid and velvety Luján de Cuyo red.



Pairing: It goes great with everything from meats, to pasta, to mild cheeses. Seriously. Think of grilled steaks, homemade burgers, kebabs, portobello mushrooms, pasta and meat or tomato sauce, pizza, meatballs, spaghetti, etc. 

About the winery. Argentina’s best small-family growers express their individual passions with single-grower, single-vineyard wines. Each wine named after a grower family demonstrates the wide range of Malbec aroma and flavor profiles generated by distinct Mendoza appellations.

 La Posta translates to “the tavern,” where the farmers meet to discuss their soils, their vines, their quest for superior flavors, and their passions for life. In collaboration with wine pioneer Laura Catena and esteemed winemaker Luis Reginato, the hard work and skill of the people behind the wines are expressed in La Posta.
