Description
The Pledge 100 Malbec is a remarkable tribute to Argentina's viticultural history, crafted exclusively from vines that have flourished for over a century. These ancient, low-yielding vineyards in Mendoza produce fruit with a natural balance and depth that younger plants simply cannot replicate. Winemaker Richard Bonvin treats this rare fruit with a gentle touch, resulting in a wine that feels incredibly lush and opulent. Drinking this is like taking a journey through time, offering a concentrated and silky experience that captures the true soul of high-elevation Malbec.
