"This vineyard is planted at an altitude of 1360 meters | 4462 feet, at the foot of the Jaboncillo hills, called cerrilladas, in the paraje of Gualtallary that we know as "Monasterio." It is the result of our search for synthesis between the vineyard and the landscape. Surrounded by native vegetation of the area, the vineyard respects the richness of the topography and soil types of this place, where caliche and gravel covered in calcareous material abound, amongst an authentic mountain desert climate.
We have divided the vineyard into 30 parcels with different types of soils, aspects and sun exposure, and distinct methods of cultivation. Each lot was vinified separately, to then develop the wine through a blend that best represents the identity of this vineyard.
This Finca wine is 100% Malbec with a great sense of place." - Sebastián Zuccardi
"Vinified entirely in concrete with 40% whole clusters, the 2021 Finca Las Cerrilladas comes from alluvial soils in the Monasterio section of Gualtallary, featuring sand, calcium carbonate and caliche. It opens with an initially introverted, coiled bouquet that gradually reveals the quintessential herbal, spice-driven and elegantly floral profile characteristic of Gualtallary, delivered with delicacy and subtlety. The palate is sleek, racy, tensile and gently enveloping, transitioning seamlessly to a spectacular, complex and multidimensional finish that balances tenacious grip, alluring nuance, vertical lift and weightless density. I found this to be approaching the same league as the reference-point Piedra Infinita bottlings, a feat all the more remarkable as it is only the third iteration produced so far. My score could be viewed as conservative with a few more years in bottle." - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate, May 01, 2025
