{"title":"San Pablo Wines","description":"\u003cp\u003eTucked within Argentina's Uco Valley, the San Pablo district sits at altitude in the foothills of the Andes — a place where cold nights, intense sunlight and ancient alluvial soils conspire to produce wines of remarkable precision and depth. This is one of Mendoza's most exciting sub-regions, drawing the attention of the country's most ambitious producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWines from San Pablo are defined by their tension: ripe, concentrated fruit balanced by a freshness and mineral edge that the altitude alone can deliver. Malbec here takes on a more structured, age-worthy character — less opulent than lower-altitude expressions, more focused and terroir-driven. Alongside Malbec, Cabernet Franc and white varieties such as Chardonnay and Semillon are finding their footing in this cool, high-altitude environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur San Pablo selection is curated from the region's most compelling estates — producers who farm with care, intervene minimally in the winery, and let the land speak for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"zuccardi-un-lugar-de-los-andes-pinot-noir-2022","title":"Zuccardi Un Lugar de los Andes Pinot Noir 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points - Patricio Tapia - Descorchados.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir and Mendoza might seem an unlikely partnership, yet the coolest, highest vineyards of the Uco Valley are proving just how well they suit one another.

With a smooth texture, it has fine, round tannins. This malbec grows on soils rich in organic matter, a very different situation from other great malbecs from Uco.
