Description
Debut 2023 is the icon wine of Vinos de Potrero, a blend of 85% Malbec and 15% Cabernet Franc born in the vineyards of Gualtallary, Uco Valley. Made with a careful selection of grapes and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, it elegantly expresses the identity of this exceptional high-altitude terroir. Of great complexity and balance, it combines the intensity and silkiness of Malbec with the freshness, structure and sophistication of Cabernet Franc, resulting in a deep, refined wine with long aging potential, where fruit, minerality and finesse are the true protagonists.
Tasting notes & pairing
Of an intense deep red color with violet reflections, it offers a complex nose where aromas of ripe black and red fruits, violets, mountain herbs and a delicate spicy profile are combined. The aging in barrels provides elegant notes of cocoa, cedar, tobacco and a subtle toast, precisely integrated into the fruit expression. In the mouth it has excellent volume and depth, with firm and refined tannins, a vibrant freshness and a marked minerality typical of the calcareous soils of the Uco Valley. Cabernet Franc provides tension, complexity and a very elegant herbal profile, while Malbec provides breadth and silkiness. The finish is long, persistent and with great balance. Ideal for premium grilled red meats, chorizo steak, aged rib eye, Patagonian lamb, duck, game meats and slow-cooked dishes. It also harmonizes perfectly with mushroom risottos, pasta with ragù, aged cheeses and Mediterranean cuisine with intense flavors.
