Finca Sophenia was founded by Roberto Luka in the Gualtallary district of Tupungato, Mendoza which is now widely recognised as one of the premier regions for the production of fine wine in Argentina. Synthesis is produced from a selection of the finest plots of Malbec planted at around 4000ft elevation. Grapes are harvested by hand, rigorously sorted, cold soaked for five days prior to fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Maturation is for 14 months in aged French oak barrels. The result is an intensely aromatic expression of Malbec, redolent of plums, cherries, black pepper, violets and roses.

The 2020 Malbec Synthesis Sophenia from Gualtallary, Uco Valley spent 12 months in 20% new oak. Purple in hue. On the nose, there are liqueur-like aromas of plum jam, hints of caramel and clove. It’s potent in the mouth with good tannins and structure. The 2020 has a compressed, ripe, profile.Joaquin Hidalgo3rd November 2022
