Pulenta Estate was founded in 2002 by brothers Hugo and Eduardo Pulenta, fourth-generation winemakers, with the goal of translating their family legacy and their father’s pioneering spirit into a modern, innovative winery focused on producing limited quantities of great wines. They have quickly carved out a reputation for precise, elegant wines across a range of varieties and premium price points. The estate consists of two vineyards located in key areas of Mendoza: Finca La Zulema in Agrelo and Viñedos Don Antonio in Los Arboles, a district of the Uco Valley. These contrasting vineyards have complex alluvial soils and distinct altitudes which, when blended, help give Pulenta wines their distinctive style. The signature style of Pulenta is built on finesse, silky texture and elegant fruit character, while displaying the typical power and depth of fruit that is expected of Argentinian wines.
Pulenta Estate, Malbec I – The nose is concentrated and intense with blackberry and blueberry fruits, alongside appealing lavender notes and a savoury underbrush tone. The palate is lush, well-rounded palate with a more black fruit that blends with a mouthwatering freshness and intensity. The oak ageing has lent a spicy character and there is a complex mineral streak through the core.
