The La Florita Malbec is the flagship red of Finca El Peral — a Malbec from Finca El Peral, Tupungato, grown at 1,150 meters above sea level where volcanic soils and extreme diurnal temperatures produce grapes of exceptional concentration and freshness. Crafted by winemaker Adrian Toledo, this 100% Malbec is fermented in concrete eggs and then aged 12 months in 500-liter French oak barrels — half new, half used — adding sweet spice complexity to a clearly fruit-forward wine. Rated 94pts Decanter and 90pts James Suckling. Explore our full selection of Mendoza red wines shipped directly to Florida.
Concrete egg fermentation is a technique that promotes natural convection during fermentation, producing wines with rounder textures and greater aromatic complexity. Combined with the unique terroir of El Peral, this Malbec Finca El Peral stands as one of the most complete expressions of high-altitude Mendoza Malbec available in Florida — exclusively through Unique Wines, shipped directly from La Florita to your door.
