Doña Paula Estate Black Edition

This balanced blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot originates from our vineyards in El Alto, Ugarteche, at an altitude of 1,050 meters. The terroir, characterized by warm days, cool nights, and clay-loam soils, contributes intensity, structure, and elegance. The result is a wine with a deep violet color and intense aromas of plum, spices, red bell pepper, and a delicate touch of mint. Harmonious, with a modern profile and great presence on the palate.

Fact Sheet

Our Estate Vineyards

This balanced blend has its origin in our vineyards from Ugarteche, Luján de Cuyo. The yield is between 7 to 9 tonnes per hectare. These grapevines are drip irrigated and espalier trained. This estate is located at 1,050 meters above sea level and the climate in this area typically presents warm days and cool nights, with an average temperature variation of 14°C and an average annual rainfall of 200 mm. At Doña Paula, our vineyards have always been managed using sustainable agriculture practices.

Vinification

The harvest is done manually at the end of March. Each variety that makes up the blend is vinified separately in concrete vats. 30% of the wine is aged for 10 months in second- and third-use French oak barrels, while the rest remains in concrete tanks to preserve its freshness and fruity character.

Food Pairing

Goat ravioli with mushroom sauce. This is an elegant, complex and classic Bordeaux-like blend that accompanies a delicious and intense dish.
