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.
"Plums, blueberries, herbs and violets on the nose. Medium body with chewy tannins. Juicy and fleshy. Structured, but balanced. Straightforward malbec from organically grown grapes. Drink now."
- James Suckling (March 2021), 90 pts
"Deep purple color. Aromas and flavors of mixed berry cobbler, cola, and chai latte with a satiny, crisp, fruity medium body and a smooth, delightful, medium-length finish with nuances of berry gelato. A creamy Malbec with warm spice notes."
