Technical Details
Estate
Made by famed Argentine winemaker Susana Balbo, Nosotros is one of the few top Argentine Malbecs that combines powerful fruit concentration with balance, grace and refined structure.
Susana Balbo and her team select each harvest's best single vineyard to create the winery's most limited-production wine and one of Argentina's iconic wines: Nosotros Single Vineyard Nomad.
Nosotros means “us” in Spanish, and the wine pays homage to the hard work of the winery team that selects the 40 finest barrels of Malbec from the estate and matures them for 16-18 months in new French oak before bottling. The resulting wine displays saturated deep-purple color, with decadent blackberry pie, plum and vanilla flavors. It is remarkably approachable in its youth, but also rewards cellaring. Only 200 cases are imported to the U.S. each year.
