Tilia Malbec 2020

Tilia wines reflect the company’s values to honor tradition, support the community and respect nature.  They preserve and nurture plants, insects, and animals so that the vineyards can adapt to a changing environment with the goal of sustaining the land for generations to come. They employ traditional farming practices and take pride in the fact that their vineyards are planted with ungrafted vines. 

The Tilia or Tilo tree, is the wine label’s namesake, although not a native species to Argentina, it has adapted well to Mendoza because it tolerates the region’s drought and mountain cold. The leaves are made into a calming tea which is traditionally drunk after lunch or dinner, to facilitate an afternoon siesta or bedtime.
