Yoli by Kalós: The Symbiosis of the Uco Valley's Best Terroirs
The Yoli by Kalós Malbec Blend 750ml Red Wine is a pinnacle of contemporary Argentine winemaking, conceived by the prestigious family winery Kalós Wines. Created as a heartfelt tribute to Yolanda, the matriarch and fundamental pillar of the Losada family, this red breaks traditional molds by presenting itself as a sophisticated, high-end Malbec Blend. Instead of coming from a single estate, it meticulously combines Malbec grape components from selected micro-parcels in the Uco Valley, chosen for their altitude, sun exposure, and soils rich in calcareous and alluvial deposits. Its production process is purely artisanal and rigorous: after a manual harvest and a double sorting table, it undergoes a noble aging of 18 to 24 months in new fine-grained French oak barrels. The result is a wine of dazzling anthocyanin concentration, with an extremely polished palate texture and an aromatic range as broad as it is aristocratic.

2. Exclusive Tasting Notes
Appearance: Presents an imposing, dense, and concentrated deep purple-red color with dark, brilliant violet hues of very high intensity, exhibiting perfect clarity and a slow, sumptuous glyceric tear that majestically stains the edges of the glass.
Nose: Very high aromatic intensity, clear, and excellently complex. It unfolds in the foreground notes of ripe black and red fruits such as prunes, forest blackberries, and cassis, which are superbly intertwined with elegant floral notes of fresh violets. With aeration, hints of dark chocolate, cocoa, sweet vanilla, blonde tobacco, and a distinguished mineral and truffle background contributed by the noble French oak emerge.
Palate: Voluptuous, broad entry, with great fleshiness and a formidable tactile impact. On the palate, it is sumptuous and structured, yet amazingly smooth; its tannins are incredibly round, sweet, and silky, providing a delicious velvety texture. Its natural acidity, from the altitude of the Uco Valley, provides mineral freshness and an aristocratic palate tension that leads to a long, dry, and deeply persistent finish with fruity and smoky notes.
