Cobos - Mendoza 2021
Viña Cobos makes wines that are authentic expressions of the terroir from which they come. Paul Hobbs, founding partner and winemaker at Viña Cobos, has worked since 1988 in the exploration of the different terroirs of Mendoza, looking for the most distinguished regions in Luján de Cuyo and the Valle de Uco, to produce wines that uniquely express their origins.
Sustainable farming methods in the vineyard contribute to consistent yields of healthy fruit. In the winery, careful treatment of the grapes and meticulous winemaking techniques result in complex and elegant wines of subtlety and balance.
With the inaugural vintage of Cobos Malbec in 1999, Viña Cobos marked a milestone in viticulture, defying existing standards and firmly positioned Malbec and Argentina on the international wine scene. Since then, our prestigious wines have been recognized around the globe by critics and consumers alike.

The 2021 vintage:
During 2021 season, cool conditions prevailed through the ned of harvest creating the environnement desired for slow, even berry maturation. Snowfall during the winter was much higher than the previous year. Although we are still in a context of water crisis, the availability of water was enough to supply the vineyards properly. The cool summer and the intermittent episodes of rain made the plants vegetate in good conditions and maturity occured slowly. Areas with rocky soils and good drainage achieved very good concentration and complexity.
Tasting notes:
Deep inky violet color, saturated and bright. Focused and complex aromas of gooseberries, fresh rosemary with violets hints. On the palate reveals a remarkable structure and texture, unfolding in layers and minerality. It's round and tense.
