In 1969, it was acquired by the families Nieto and Senetiner, who expanded the facilities, signalling the beginning of a new stage of growth and brand development. In 1998, it became part of the Grupo de Negocios de Molinos Río de la Plata.
Loyal to their wines' quality and the importance of terroir, Nieto Senetiner has 400 hectares of vineyards in three Estates (Fincas), all situated in the Lujan de Cuyo area, but in different valleys presenting different features. In these Estates, high quality grapes are produced, resulting in exceptional wines.
This is a great value play wine-- don't let the reasonable price fool you; it drinks way above its price niveau. We're suckers for Mendoza Malbecs and this one saw us coming and reeled us in. The perfumed nose of dark blue and red fruits mixed with midnight florals and piquant spices with maybe a touch of vanilla chai, caught us first. Sensual, rich, enveloping. And on the lips, heaven! Sweet plum and red berry fruits paired with a voluptuous mouthfeel lead to mid-palate tones of spice, cedar and a touch of burley tobacco. Excellent acidity and forward tannins keep the structure firm and focused. The finish is elongated with fruits and spices echoing around the mouth for minutes and minutes.
