The rugged label immediately transports us to the mountainous Andes. This western region of Argentina has developed into a wine region par excellence. One of the pioneers here is none other than Mijndert Pon. Yes, indeed, the Dutch businessman who made his name in cars. This fine man is also the one who founded the illustrious Bodegas Salentein in Valle de Uco three decades ago. At the age of 75, a few years before his death, he decided to embark on a new project: Pyros. Located in the desolate and remote Valle de Pedernal region, the conditions in this valley are more than unique, and here too, he planted the pride of Argentine viticulture: the Malbec grape.
The vineyards for this impressive Pyros Vineyard Block N4 Malbec are located at an altitude of up to 1500 meters, creating perfect conditions for viticulture. The grapes for this Argentinian wine are grown in a select plot, No. 4 Piedra de Fuego. This plot boasts unique terroir. But only after the lengthy and complex vinification process does the unique selling point of this red wine emerge: perpetual oak aging. The precious sap is aged for a full 16 months in a balanced combination of French and American oak.
