About Pyros 2018 Malbec Single Block No.4
#35 Wine of the Year Winery!
Pyros Wines is a terroir-driven project created with the aim of positioning the Pedernal Valley at the top of Argentinean viticulture, through its distinctive soils and high altitudes. The diverse terroir and natural beauty were inspirations to Mijndert Pon, the founder of Bodegas Salentein and Bodegas Callia. His vision to showcase the exceptional fruit grown in the Pedernal Valley led to the creation of the region’s first wine brand, Pyros.
93 Points Decanter
The Pyros vineyard boasts silex-rich calcareous soils that lend an exotic profile to its wines. Made by Paula González, the Block #4 was barrel-aged for 18 months. The nose presents plum, mountain herbs, balsamic notes and smoky oak aromas, then in the mouth it’s intense and compact with tart acidity from the altitude, which adds to a fresh character channeled by chalky tannins before a lengthy finish.
93 Points Vinous
The 2018 Malbec Pyros Vineyard Block N° 4 from the Pedernal Valley was aged for 12 months in French barrels, a tenth of them new. Vivid purple in hue. The nose, which has a little biscuity liqueur to it, presents notes of country herb and bay leaf with hints of dark fruit such as blackberry and blueberry and a whiff of lavender and other dried flowers. Bold in the mouth, it has a juicy, chalky texture and relaxed structure before the ripe, fruity finish.
92 Points James Suckling
A full-bodied red with round, creamy tannins and plenty of fruit, yet it’s fresh. Nicely done from this area. Drink or hold.
