Vintage Report
The 2021 vintage in Argentina is rated with an excellent score of 92. The wines from this year are described as youthful and still powerful in their tannins, indicating great potential for further aging.
Phew, another Argentinian gem. Pyros has long been known for its powerful and robust Argentinian wines, but this Pyros Vineyard Block N4 Malbec exceeds all expectations. A spirited Malbec with aromas of thick, dark fruit, fragrant tobacco, and powerful spices. A glass of wine that continues to develop once you've taken a sip. A true celebration of tobacco, leather, pepper, vanilla, and dark berries unfolds on the palate. With a sparkling afterparty on the finish. Argentina at its very finest.
The wines of Pyros
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.Buy Pyros Vineyard Block N4 Malbec wine
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.Product details
