Cassis, black cherry and cocoa notes unfold with striking purity and precision. Rich fruit, mountain freshness and polished tannins combine to create a Malbec of impressive depth and elegance.

About De Angeles

Perched at an altitude of 1,000 meters in the legendary, pre-phylloxera cradle of Vistalba, this historic boutique estate guards one of Mendoza's most sacred viticultural treasures. Under the precise guidance of owner Guillermo Barbier and winemaker Juan Manuel González, De Angeles Viña 1924 works exclusively with un-grafted, century-old massal selection vines planted in 1924. Interspersed with 90-year-old Tuscan olive groves, the property is meticulously farmed via advanced micro-plot precision agriculture to capture the intricate, multi-layered soil profiles of the site. The resulting allocations—ranging from pristine, un-oaked single-plot Malbecs to their monumental Gran Corte Bordeaux blends—vibrate with a deeply intellectual mineral focus, chiseled red fruit freshness, and an aristocratic, age-defying structural majesty.
