Germán and Ayelén Masera are leading lights in Argentina's Uco Valley. The couple currently sources grapes from the El Zampal section of Tupungato and has recently established an estate vineyard and winery in Gualtallary. The range begins with the Livverá line, each representing fantastic value and offering a glimpse into the clean, vibrant and impressively transparent profile that permeates the lineup. As impressive as this introductory range is, the centerpiece Credo Sémillon and Malbec bottlings are in another league, each beautifully exemplifying the richly textured, vinous pedigree of which the Uco Valley is capable.
750 mlA stand-out in the Escala Humana portfolio is the 2022 Credo Malbec. It originates from El Peral and underwent a 30-40 day maceration with 30% stem inclusion before basket pressing and maturing in 500-liter well-seasoned François Frères barrels. Opening with a deep, measured and refined bouquet of opaque fruits, purple flowers and escalating spice-driven accents, the palate is seamless, elegant and dense while maintaining a taut, lifted core. It concludes with an intense, rich finish elongated by ultra-refined tannins and impeccable composure. This is a compelling and sophisticated expression of Uco Valley Malbec with a stylistic nod to Cornas.
