La Igriega – Single Vineyard Malbec 2021 🇦🇷
Altitude. Elegance. And a Whole Lot of Legacy.
Born in the shadows of the Andes, raised by dreamers.
The 2021 Single Vineyard Malbec from La Igriega is a high-altitude, high-character wine from Paraje Altamira, Mendoza’s crown jewel. It’s got structure. It’s got soul. And it’s got a damn good story.
🏆 92 Points – Decanter
“A vibrant and elegant expression… dark fruit, floral finesse, and a polished finish.”
🏆 91 Points – Wine Advocate
“Power meets finesse… juicy blackberry, violets, spice, and refreshing acidity.”
Two critics. One consensus: this wine gets it right.
🍷 Tasting Notes
-
Color: Deep ruby with purple glints — like velvet in a glass.
-
Nose: Blackberry, plum, and violets rise first. Then come whispers of spice and wet stone.
-
Palate: Full-bodied and fresh. Dark fruit and just a brush of oak. Silky tannins hold it all together.
-
Finish: Long, clean, and mineral-rich — it lingers like a good secret.
👨👦👦 The Family Behind the Bottle
In 2006, Marcelo Goldberg left textiles for terroir and founded La Igriega with one goal: to bottle legacy. Now his son Nico runs the show, staying true to the family's deep respect for the land.
The name La Igriega ("The Y") represents a union — of generations, of nature and nurture, of tradition and rebellion.
This is a wine made by people who give a damn. No shortcuts. Just obsessive vineyard work, sustainable farming, and wild love for Paraje Altamira’s rocky, high-altitude soils.
🍽️ Pair This With Something Worthy
