"Considerable the effort required to achieve freshness in a warm place like Agrelo, where generally the fruit is dark and the flavors, sweet. Manifesting red fruits, and above all earthy notes and a firm and sinewy texture. A different facet of a classic region. 80% of the wine is aged in concrete tanks, the remainder in used oak barrels."

"Confirming the shift in style at Chakana, away from oak and higher alcohol towards more elegant, refined Malbecs, this is floral and subtle, sustained by acidity and complemented rather than overwhelmed by vanilla spice. Sappy and refreshing. 2017-22"

"Bright medium ruby. Aromas of blackberry, coffee and chocolate, plus a hint of licorice. Ripe and creamy but nicely framed by harmonious acidity and lifted by chalky minerality. This savory, expressive wine, made entirely in concrete tanks, tastes sweeter than its 1.8 g/l r.s. would suggest thanks to its fruit intensity; it's easy to drink and not at all tiring. - Stephen Tanzer"

"The 2017 Nuna Estate Malbec was produced with grapes from Agrelo. Fifty percent of the wine matured in oak barrels for eight months, and the rest was kept in tank. Most of the 2017s have nicely integrated oak, as is the case here, along with some fine-grained tannins and shy varietal character. 240,000 bottles produced."

"Paz Levinson: Concentrated and pristine black fruit. This is a fresh and lively Malbec. Patricio Tapia: A great example of the grape: refreshing, filled with cherry notes and has a generous finish, with radiant red fruit and spicy black pepper."
