OUR MAALBEC
“We call this wine VECINAL, as it represents the identity of Las Compuertas through the union of its vecinos — its neighbors.”
“We call this wine BIOLENTO, after the small and violent creatures that represent the greatest challenge of bioagriculture.”
“We call this barrel blend MEZCLA, for its free, undefined origin and strong character. In tribute to Lobito, MAAL’s first dog. 2019–22.”
“We call this wine AMBIGUO, as an attempt to make a white wine from red grapes.”
Maalisimo
“We call this wine MAALÍSIMO, for being contaminated with a small dose of another varietal. As punishment, we locked it up in 1.5-liter bottles.”
Bestial
“We call this wine BESTIAL, like the Malbec born from these old vines after fermentation. Trying to tame the beast is always a fascinating challenge.”
“We call this wine REBELIÓN, as it was the first wine we made by blending different vineyards.”
“We call this wine BESTIAL, like the Malbec born from these old vines after fermentation. Trying to tame the beast is always a fascinating challenge.”
“We call this wine IMPOSIBLE, a word we heard far too many times when we decided to start our own winery.”
“We call this wine PACIENCIA, an essential virtue in the search for the ultimate wine. We recommend decanting it for 45 minutes, or three turns of the hourglass.”
“We call this undefined-color wine NN, for being neither red nor white. We recommend serving it chilled, in good company and without prejudice.”
MAALAS COMPAÑIAS
Menjunje
Malbec-based Vermouth
We love those afternoons with friends that start with vermouth and end with wine. Inspired by those moments, MENJUNJE, MAAL’s vermouth, was born.
Aceite de Olivia
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
At MAAL, we love cooking, and cooking without olive oil is like making wine without grapes. We use it so much and love it so much that we decided to create our own blend. And that’s how ACEITE DE OLIVIA was born.
Chivo x 2
Dry Gin with Malbec
In our never-ending quest to make as many things as possible with MAALbec, we decided to put our own spin on gin. And that’s how CHIVO was born, an intense and aromatic Mendoza Dry Gin.
