Current release · 4 wines

The cellar, on a single long page.

Everything we have bottled and still hold — four wines from the current release, eight library wines back to 2014, and one mixed case for the long table.

Library quantities are small. The Reserva 2018 is down to thirty-eight bottles; the 2014 to four. When a vintage finishes, it does not come back. Tasting notes below are from Lucía and from the printed sommelier sheet that ships in every case.

The long-table case · 6 bottles
Built for a meal that runs long

A case for the long table.

Three bottles of Estate Malbec 2022, two of Franc 2022, one of Blanco 2023 — chosen so the meal can open with the Blanco, settle into the Franc through the middle courses, and find its long ending with the Malbec.

Ships with a printed sommelier sheet and the recipe for Lucía’s slow-roast lamb.
