Sitting at almost 1,500 metres in Gualtallary, it’s a high-altitude site that has been sliced and diced by the Catena Institute to find the specific \"parcelas\" that produce world-class Malbec. The Fortuna Terrae (luck of the land) parcel is defined by its deep loamy soils and the native grasses that grow between the vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 vintage was crafted by Argentina's most iconic winemaker, Alejandro Vigil - often called the \"Messi of Wine\" - who leans into the site's natural freshness. The winemaking is highly detailed: up to 80% whole cluster fermentation and a long cold soak to pin down those delicate aromatics. It’s aged for over a year in massive, 10-year-old 2,200L French oak foudres, a move that allows the wine to breathe and develop without being smothered by new wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a Malbec that trades raw power for elegance and tension. It’s incredibly aromatic, showing spicy black fruit and distinct floral notes that are a hallmark of the high-altitude Adrianna site. The palate is rounded and smooth, but the acidity from the deep soils gives it a racy, energetic edge. It’s an elite, site-specific wine that’s drinking beautifully now but has the stuffing to evolve for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Deep brooding nose with a touch of cocoa powder to the deep, fresh blueberries, chiles and chocolate. Impeccable chalky tannins confer structure and resolve. Full-bodied but super fresh and bright, with a long, long finish. Need two or three years at least to let complexity come through.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Zekun Shuai (James Suckling)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e96+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The 2022 Adrianna Vineyard Malbec Fortuna Terrae is pure, floral, herbal and elegant on the nose, followed by a svelte, soft and richly textured palate enlivened with an increasingly electric core of acidity...
