Cueva de las Manos translates to "Cave of Hands". There are a series of caves in Patagonia containing stenciled paintings of hands, dating back over 9,000 years ago. The caves have been named a World Heritage Site, and they are the inspiration for the label on these wines.
Cueva de las Manos Malbec is deep purple in color. Fruity intensity on the nose with floral notes. A juicy texture, mild tannins and good structure balanced by a well-integrated freshness. Clean and pure finish.
Perfect with "asados", the traditional Argentinean grill.
"From, Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, the 2021 Malbec Cueva de las Manos is an organic wine. It's purple in color. The nose showcases aromas of fresh plum, herb and hints of cherry. Broad and indulgent with a voluminous flow and refined tannins, it’s a delicate wine with good flavor. - Joaquín Hidalgo"
