Lagarde Primeras Viñas 2020 – Centenarian Malbec with Luján Elegance

Tasting Notes

Imagine a deep, dark-red swirl with violet edges—like a velvet blanket. On the nose? Juicy red fruits, that weirdly flirtatious menthol breeze, coconut vanilla, and spice-sprinkled oak. The palate is velvety smooth, juicy yet balanced, with a long, persistent, fruit-and-spice finish. Regal without being forced. 

Meet the Winemakers

Lagarde’s old-school roots run deep—this Malbec comes from vines planted in 1906 and 1930 in Luján de Cuyo. Hand-harvested, indigenous yeast fermented, then aged 16–18 months in French oak. Heritage in every bottle, elegance in every sip.
