Pachamama is the northern chapter of that story, made with Rafael Domingo of the Cafayate family. Altitude does the rest: at 2,200 metres the days are intense and the nights are cold, so the grapes ripen fully while holding onto acid and tannin, which is why a wine this ripe still tastes taut. The result reads more like a mountain red from Europe than a conventional Argentine Malbec. Approachable now and holding well through the next few years.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e❤️ Why We Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• Made by the Italian oenologist behind Achaval-Ferrer and Matervini\u003cbr\u003e\n• Grown at an altitude almost no other wine region can match\u003cbr\u003e\n• Concrete fermentation and restrained oak keep the site in the foreground\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🍽️ Food Pairing Ideas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• Grilled beef and chorizo\u003cbr\u003e\n• Roast kid or lamb with herbs\u003cbr\u003e\n• Empanadas, spiced stews, hard cheeses\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e👤 Who This Wine Is For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n✓ Anyone following Roberto Cipresso's work beyond Mendoza\u003cbr\u003e\n✓ Drinkers who want to taste what extreme altitude does to Malbec\u003cbr\u003e\n✕ Not ideal if you prefer light, low-tannin styles\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domingo Molina","offers":[{"title":"750ml \/ 1 bottle","offer_id":48075371053108,"sku":"COL-MOLINA-PACHA-18","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"750ml \/ 6 bottles","offer_id":48096594231348,"sku":"COL-MOLINA-PACHA-18-6PK","price":243.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"750ml \/ 12 bottles","offer_id":48075371085876,"sku":"COL-MOLINA-PACHA-18-12PK","price":432.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/1739\/2436\/files\/domingo-molina-pachamama-malbec-cafayate-argentina.png?v=1785888634","url":"https:\/\/www.inbodega.com\/products\/domingo-molina-pachamama-malbec-2018-cafayate-argentina","provider":"InBodega","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
