More questions
Heritage Malbec from La Celia is a red wine based on Malbec, showing a deep ruby colour with violet highlights. On the nose it opens with aromas of ripe dark fruits, plum and blackberry, followed by subtle notes of sweet spice, cocoa and a hint of balsamic. On the palate it is soft and enveloping, with well-defined but not aggressive tannins, solid structure and balanced acidity that supports the fruit. The finish is moderately persistent, with a pleasant aftertaste that recalls the aromatic impressions.
It pairs well with red meats, braised dishes, grilled preparations and mushroom-based plates, as well as hard cheeses. Suitable for everyday enjoyment and convivial occasions, it can be enjoyed now but also tolerate short-term bottle evolution. Serve at about 16–18°C in wide glasses to enhance aromas and sapidity. A harmonious and recognisable expression from La Celia.

The story
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 recognition
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.
