Primeras Viñas

Lagarde is pleased to introduce Primeras Vinas a collection of two red wines, each of which is the result of the work and time invested in a special vineyard, their age and treatment. Their production takes between 16 and 18 months in French oak barrels, with at least 12 months of stowage in a controlled environment, resulting in great potential that can be enjoyed for 10-15 years. Only 4,000-15,000 bottles are produced annually.

Primeras Viñas Malbec: Is our malbec red wine made with grapes from our centennial vineyards, planted in 1906 and 1930.

Primeras Viñas Cabernet Sauvignon: Is our red wine made from carefully selected grapes of cabernet sauvignon from a few extraordinary blocks within our vineyard carefully chosen using precise viticulture techniques, that offer the truest, most distinctive expression of the varietal.

Tasting notes

COLOR: This high-altitude Malbec from Gualtallary, Mendoza, showcases a deep purple

AROMA: color and aromas of country herbs, delicate floral notes, and fresh plums, enriched by a hint of gunpowder.

FLAVOR: On the palate, it is taut and refreshing, with finely grained
tannins that provide structure. The flavor profile features ripe plums and mulberries, complemented by layers of leather, dark chocolate, and wet stones.
Full-bodied, it boasts a creamy texture and a broad, velvety mouthfeel, culminating in a juicy finish with a touch of chalkiness

Pairing Suggestion

This wine is an excellent choice for pairing with grilled meats or avoring on its own,
reflecting the unique terroir and altitude of its Mendoza origins
