La Posta Ángel Paulucci Old Vine Malbec – Historic Luján de Cuyo Expression

La Posta Ángel Paulucci Old Vine Malbec is a Single Vineyard Malbec from Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, crafted from old vines planted in 1972 in the Ugarteche subregion. This wine honors Ángel Paulucci, a pioneering grower whose dedication and respect for the land helped shape the identity of this historic vineyard.

Made from 100% Malbec, the vineyard sits at an elevation of 3,050 feet, where warm days and cool nights preserve natural acidity while enhancing aromatic complexity. The alluvial loam soils with approximately 30% clay regulate root temperature and improve water retention, resulting in a wine that is balanced, expressive, and deeply connected to its terroir.

On the nose, this Argentine Old Vine Malbec reveals refined aromas of red cherries, raspberries, and violets, layered with elegant toasty oak. The palate is polished and vibrant, offering ripe red berry flavors, subtle spice, and a beautifully integrated structure. The finish is long and silky, highlighted by a delicate hint of soft caramel that adds depth and sophistication.

This wine excels alongside elevated, chef-driven cuisine. It pairs seamlessly with herb-crusted rack of lamb, slow-braised beef short ribs with red wine jus, or beef tenderloin served with a shallot and Malbec reduction. Its balance and freshness also complement handmade pappardelle with wild mushroom ragù, truffle-infused risotto, and butternut squash ravioli finished with brown butter and sage. For cheese courses, choose aged Manchego, Comté, or Alpine-style cheeses, which accentuate the wine’s elegance and layered finish.

This historic Malbec from Mendoza is an exceptional choice for those seeking authentic Argentine wine, old vine Malbec, and a refined Luján de Cuyo expression that delivers complexity, heritage, and fine dining versatility.
