Old vines – new life

The Luca Old Vine Malbec is the result of Laura Catena’s endeavor to breathe new life into old Malbec vines. Moreover, the grapes originate from the Uco Valley in Mendoza, Argentina, where the unique terroir produces characterful wines.

This Malbec has a powerful structure with a lively freshness and a velvety mouthfeel. With the first sip, ripe cherries immediately stand out, followed by subtle notes of espresso and spices. The wine has an impressive length in the finish, allowing it to linger. The balance between power and refinement thus clearly demonstrates what old vines can produce.

The philosophy behind Luca Wines

Laura Catena, founder of Luca Wines, wanted to give the old Malbec vines from Mendoza a new stage. For where these grapes previously mostly disappeared into mass production, they are now receiving the attention they deserve. By deliberately using low yields, quality is maximized, resulting in a wine with concentration and depth.

Recognition from wine critics

93 points – Tim Atkin
92 points – Robert Parker
91 points – Wine Enthusiast

Careful vinification

To preserve the character of the grape, the Luca Old Vine Malbec is vinified in a traditional way. After fermentation, the wine matures for twelve months in oak barrels, 35% of which are new and the rest second-year. This maturation adds complexity without overpowering the fruit. Modern techniques ensure that this wine reflects the purest expression of Malbec. Delicious to drink now, but also suitable for aging for several years.
