E's Vino is the personal project of Eugenia Luka. Eugenia grew up among the vines, working with her father, Roberto Luka, founder of Finca Sophenia, the esteemed estate winery located in Gualtallary, Mendoza, Argentina. Eugenia decided to embark on her own path after living a life alongside her father's great passion. Today, she crafts terroir-driven wines — Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon — that uniquely represent their origins of Gualtallary, Tupungato and the Uco Valley. Each step of Eugenia’s winemaking process — from grape to glass — is rooted in the mindfulness that every present action impacts the environment and future generations. It is through her conscientious approach to viticulture and oenology that Eugenia believes she will leave her legacy.
Eugenia’s Malbec is sourced from high-altitude vineyards (4000 meters above sea level) grown in alluvial soils. Fermentation takes place in steel tank, then the wine is aged for three months in a combination of French and American oak barrels. The E’s Vino Malbec pours a brilliant ruby red with subtle violet highlights. Mouthwatering aromas of red berry and stone fruits explode from the glass accented with notes of lavender, crushed stone and spice. The medium-bodied palate is juicy and fresh with an abundance of vibrant flavors of raspberry, cherry and red plum. These vivacious fruits are balanced by lively acidity and soft, mellow tannins. This incredibly easy-drinking Malbec is wonderfully versatile on the table. The perfect companion for anything off the grill… Try with dry-rubbed chicken wings and drumsticks, BBQ-slathered ribs, your favorite cut of steak or smoked brisket.
