Tasting Note

To quote Tim himself 'Imaginate is Matias Etcharts unoaked Malbec, fermented and aged in a combination of concrete and stainless steel. Expressing the perfume, poise and intensity of this remarkable site in the Quebrada de San Lucas, it was picked early for freshness in 2020, showing floral red berry and bramble fruit, fine tannins and refreshing, chalky minerality.'

Food Pairing

Pairing food with Malbec is simpler than you might think. Since the wine has a fuller body, it's an excellent match for stronger-flavoured and richer foods. 

Youll find Malbec a great match for steak, pork, and lamb, as well as fattier fish like salmon and poultry with dark meat. Game meatlike bison, ostrich, and venisonare also a safe bet.

Sustainability

Love and respect for nature play an essential role in our work, from planting the vines to harvesting the grapes and distributing each bottle of wine to the end consumer.
In northern Argentina, as in many other places in the country and in South America, the "Pacha Mama", Mother Earth, is revered as a great gift from God. Aware of this gift, we ensure that productive activity brings beauty to the place and we pay attention to it, to preserve the existing delicate balance. We treat the vines without invasive techniques, letting the blazing sun of the day and the deep cold of the night ensure tasty grapes. The altitude at 2,100 meters above sea level and the dry climate offer ideal health conditions for our vineyard.
The sun shines almost every day in "Arca Yaco". We have therefore installed solar systems that cover 100% of the electricity needs of the property.

In addition, we are pioneers in the use of light and resistant bottles, which significantly reduce the ecological footprint along the entire logistics chain. We do not use any plastics in the packaging, only glass, paper and cardboard.
