Aruma is a refined blend of grapes produced from high altitude vineyards in the Mendoza region. The diversity of soils and textures, combined with the cool nights in the Andes mountains, merge in an intense and elegant expression of the emblematic Argentinean Malbec grapes.

The alliance of two great pioneers - Nicolás Catena and Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) - inspired this truly magnificent wine. Aruma is a celebration of the grape variety that has come to symbolize the Argentine vineyard. This wine is produced from Malbec grapes grown in carefully selected high altitude terroirs at Mendoza region. This intricacy adds balance, elegance and depth to the wine - the secret of great Malbecs.

Grape variety: Malbec. Current vintage: 2023. Regional information: Nestled at the foothills of the snowcapped Andes mountains, Mendoza is known as the best wine producing region in Argentina. With vines planted on high plateaux between 800 and 1500m above sea level, Mendoza's vineyards are known as the highest in the world. Sheltered from the rain by the mountains to the West and the Pampa to the East, the region is very arid. Mendoza wines draw their character from an exceptional sun exposure and wide temperature variations between night and day.

Tasting notes: The nose shows a great aromatic intensity where we find white flowers, red fruits and cherries. On the palate the wine is fresh, fruity, and it also expresses a pleasant balance between acidity, tannins and softness. The finish is long and delicate.

Alcohol by volume: 14. Units: 10.1. Producer: Domaines Barons de Rothschild, Lafite. Vinification details: Grapes are harvested by hand, carefully selected, destemmed and crushed before being placed in stainless steel tanks for fermentation. A traditional winemaking process ensues with pump-over and delestage. Total maceration time lasts from 12 to 15 days. Aruma is aged in tanks in order to preserve its fruit-driven style and allow the varietal characteristic of the Malbec to come through.
