Descrizione

Elite Malbec - La Celia is a red wine made from Malbec offered by the La Celia winery. It shows an intense ruby color with slight violet highlights. On the nose it offers aromas of dark berries, such as plum and ripe cherry, accompanied by delicate floral notes and light spice. On the palate it has a balanced structure: the softness of the material is balanced by tannins that are present but not aggressive and by freshness that cleans the sip. The finish is of medium persistence, overall pleasant and linear.

It pairs naturally with grilled red meats, hearty stews, mushroom dishes and hard cheeses. It is recommended to serve it at around 16–18 °C and to choose a wide tulip glass to enhance the expression of aromas. For the best experience, it is useful to uncork the bottle a few minutes before serving; a short aeration in a decanter can further soften the tannins. Store in a cool place, away from heat sources and direct light. It is a versatile choice for everyday dinners and convivial moments.

Winery history

The origins of the estate date back to the late 19th century: sources from the ownership and company communications report that the first Malbec was planted in the area between 1882 and 1890, and that the historic estate took its name from the founder's daughter, Eugenio Bustos. Over time La Celia has grown from the historic estate of Eugenio Bustos into a modern winery and part of the VSPT group, while maintaining a focus on terroir-driven viticulture.

Production philosophy

Seeking to express the terroir through measured winemaking interventions: parcel-by-parcel management, discreet use of wood for aging, and winemaking techniques aimed at preserving the freshness and typicity of the varieties.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in the heart of the Valle de Uco, the estate includes vineyards planted on three soil types at elevations reported between approximately 980 and 1,100 m a.s.l. The company reports around 380 hectares planted.

Awards and recognitions

The winery and its labels have received international scores and recognition and national awards. Among the mentions is a gold medal for La Celia Reserva Malbec at the Argentina Wine Awards 2024 and various recognitions for the estate's Malbecs and Cabernet Francs.
