Corazon del So MAGMA Bordeaux Red Blend Uco Valley 2017
Corazon del Sol MAGMA Bordeaux Red Blend 2017 – Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina
A Bold Bordeaux-Style Malbec Blend from the High-Elevation Vineyards of Los Chacayes
Crafted from just six meticulously farmed acres in the prestigious Revana Vineyard of Los Chacayes, the Corazon del Sol MAGMA Bordeaux Red Blend 2017 is a stunning example of Argentina’s capacity to rival the world’s most refined Bordeaux-style wines. Grown at high altitude in the Uco Valley, where intense UV exposure, pure rocky soils, and cool mountain air shape the fruit, this limited-production Malbec blend is a masterclass in power, elegance, and terroir expression.
Each grape cluster was hand-harvested and individually berry-sorted, a painstaking process designed to ensure only the most pristine fruit made it into the final blend. The result? A complex red wine with silky tannins, vibrant minerality, and layered aromatics that elevate it far above the average Mendoza blend.
Tasting Notes: Corazon del Sol MAGMA 2017
This 2017 vintage opens with an intense bouquet of blackcurrant, crushed violets, and graphite, backed by subtle notes of cedar, tobacco, and baking spice. On the palate, it delivers dark cherry and plum flavours, laced with hints of mocha and savory herbs. The texture is polished yet firm, with finely integrated tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish that speaks of its volcanic, stony soil origins.
