“The most multidimensional of the Aluvional range is the 2021 Aluvional Gualtallary, which opens with an initially introverted, brooding bouquet of smoldering, saturated black fruits and increasingly lifted tones of wild herbs and dried flowers. The palate is suave, rich and compact, seamlessly culminating in a swelling, dense and bracingly structured finish laden with drying but refined tannins and blazing mineral persistence. This does a commendable job of capturing Gualtallary's wild yet focused profile and does so with compelling grace and control.” 96pts, Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate, May 25 

“The 2021 Malbec Aluvional Gualtallary, sourced from the Uco Valley, spent a winter in concrete vats before bottling. This purple-hued wine reveals delicate herbal and black fruit aromas with a deep layer of plum. Rich yet compact, the palate is tense and juicy, with notes of black olives and a chalky mineral texture. Lean at 13.8% alcohol, it’s full of energy, complexity and deep expressiveness.” 96pts, Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous, Nov 24 

“This is very floral, with notes of wild sage, black olives and rosemary to the black fruit on both the nose and palate. Full-bodied with layers of fruit and very fine tannins that give a plushness and depth. Spicy at the finish. Exceptional. Needs three to four years to open. Drink from 2027.” 97pts, James Suckling, May 24 

“Gualtallary is generally the most “Mediterranean” of the Uco Valley’s sub-regions in terms of aromas and flavours. This unwooded Malbec wouldn’t look out of place in the Languedoc, with wafts of lavender, thyme and rosemary aromas, grippy tannins and a palate of damson and tapenade framed by muscular tannins. 2026-32.” 94pts, Tim Atkin, Jun 24
