Miau is the typical cry a cat makes when willing to attract attention. Made by four mad cats - Mariana, Facundo, Gabriel and Juan - from their vineyard high in Alto Gualtallary, where the sun, slopes and limestone create the best wines in Valle de Uco.
The wine boasts a very deep color, red fruit aromas, spice and herbal perfume with an intense profound mineral palate. Juicy and round tannins.
Grilled steak (sirloin, ribeye), lamb chops, pork, ribs and brisket. Argentinian specialties such as beef empanadas and char-grilled sausages (asado style). Vegetarian options like roasted vegetables (eggplant, bell peppers, mushrooms. Aged cheddar cheese, blue cheese and Manchego.
"From vines that cannot be certified organic because of the neighbors, the pure Malbec 2020 Miau is juicy and varietal, produced in a light way with less extraction, making it more approachable. It's rich and ripe, with clean aromas of violets, berries and fruit and a soft mouthfeel, quite tasty, almost salty. It matured in used French oak barrels. 20,000 bottles were filled in June 2021."

"This is the entry-level wine of Cuatro Gatos Locos and it's 100% malbec from the Gualtallary zone, a high-altitude location more than 1,300 meters above sea level in the Uco Valley. It has the succulence and voluptuousness of a Gualtallary malbec, with the exuberant flavors of red fruits and violets in a pleasing body with round and juicy tannins. A wine for grilled meat—the perfect match."
