ABOUT THIS WINE:

Miguel Aime Pouget

Miguel Aime Pouget

Limited Release Malbec

Under 200 barrels were made of this wine, making it truly one of a kind! With just over 1700 acres of planted land in Mendoza, our winemaking partners are experts in their craft, having been making wine since 1997. With vineyard sites that range from 2,500 to nearly 4,000 feet above sea level, Mendoza is the picturesque heartbeat of winemaking in Argentina. The 2019 growing season was quite normal—full of warm days, cool nights, and a perfect amount of rainfall. The easy climate led to a near-perfect vintage for the fruit that was selected for this gorgeous Malbec. Dark fruit compote flavors meld with bright red fruits, and the varietal signature spiciness complements a natural acidity that makes every sip linger.

WINE REGION:

Outline of Mendoza

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.

ABOUT THE BRAND:

large bunches of red grapes on the vine

Miguel Aime Pouget

Countless individuals have altered enological history. While many of their tales go untold, their impacts continue to shape the story of wine. We aim to celebrate the spirit of research and discovery through our wines by recognizing one of the wine world's lesser-known influential people. Miguel Aime Pouget was a French explorer who brought the first Malbec rootstock to Argentina from its French homeland. Today Malbec and Argentina are synonymous with one another, and they offer some of the best examples of this timeless varietal. Let's raise our glasses and "Salud" to Miguel and the spirit of exploration.
