2019 Vinyes Ocults - Uco Valley Malbec

Vinyes Ocults Description

Vinyes Ocults was started in 2007 as what we refer to as a “Garagiste” winery. This is a term derived from Jean Luc Thunevin back in 1991 when he produced a wine Chateau Valandraud. The wine was quite literally produced in a garage on the right bank of St Emilion. Finding producers that produce wine in this fashion make wine as a labor of love, they make wine as its their passion. As a result this really come through in the wines, not to mention much lower overhead, so they are able to make wines that simply over-deliver at the price. The first vintage of this wine I am about to offer you was a 400 liter production and sold out in less than 2 months, with no heavy advertising, just word of mouth.

The wines for Vinyes Ocults are produced by Tomás Stahringer, a winemaker everyone reading this needs to catch on the way up. Tomás was referenced in the “Malbec Report” as one of 4 top Argentine winemakers to watch. Tomás started Vinyes Ocults in his parents garage as a side gig from his daytime job as a winemaker at Bodega Polo. What started off as a 2 barrel production has quickly turned into a 20,000 bottle production. Tomás did this without cutting any corners and as a result the quality of the wine has not been compromised, in fact the quality has increased over the years. There is no hiding now, the 2019 vintage of Vinyes Ocults Malbec was just awarded 94 Pts from Antonio Galloni’s Vinous Magazine, and can be had WELL under $20.

Vinous: 94 Points

The 2019 Malbec Vinyes Ocults was made with grapes from the Uco Valley and aged for 12 months in used barrels. A vivid purple in hue, the simple aromas feature fresh plum with cherry, violets and country herbs complemented by notes from the aging process. Broad on the palate with gentle, rounded tannins, fruit takes the lead, lifted by a juicy freshness that brings tension and leaves the tongue thirsty for more. An attractive wine made in a novel style.
