Petite Fleur Malbec

Petite Fleur Malbec is the elegant expression of Monteviejo's emblematic grape, from the vineyards of Vista Flores in the heart of the Valle de Uco. It is named after the favourite song of Catherine Péré-Vergé, founder of Monteviejo, and joins the fruit intensity of Argentine Malbec with French finesse.

Tasting notes

Intense purple red. Red and black fruit with spice on the nose. Fruity and complex on the palate, with round tannins and a persistent finish. An elegant, complex wine.

Winemaking

Malbec from Vista Flores, Tunuyán, at 1,000 m altitude. Hand-picked, with a double selection of bunches and berries. Cold maceration at 7 °C for 5 days, fermentation in stainless steel and malolactic fermentation in French oak. 80% of the wine is aged 12 months in second- and third-use French oak barrels, then 6 months in bottle. Serve at 14–16 °C. Winemaker José Mounier.
