Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker and Suckling

During the fermentation of the different plots of La Cautiva from 2018, they found a cask that had a marked and different personality—less floral, earthier, with notes reminiscent of iron and less fruit—and they decided to keep it separate and bottle the 2018 Óleo, their first single- vineyard red. The wine matured in three 225-liter oak barrels, which might make it tighter, a little more balsamic and with a very austere mouthfeel. It was the wine that called their attention, and then they looked at the soils and found that the soil was red and must have more iron than other plots. This is a plot that ripens earlier. The wine has very good depth and has structure while keeping the balance and poise. It finishes with very tasty, focused and symmetric flavors. For a moment, I forgot I was tasting a Malbec. 915 bottles and some larger formats were filled in September 2020.

Aromas of violets, raspberries, lemon grass, ginger tea, black pepper and bergamot. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins and bright acidity. Fragrant and structured with a fresh finish. Nicely integrated and subtle palate. Try from 2022.
