Malbec grown on calcareous sand and gravel high in Gualtallary, fermented and raised entirely in concrete with no oak anywhere in the picture — this is about as far from the plush Argentine cliche as the grape gets. Inseparable is the work of Edy Del Popolo and David Bonomi, two winemakers who were close friends long before they were partners, which is where the name comes from, and who left senior jobs at large Mendoza houses to farm two small hectares at the old Monasterio vineyard in the Uco Valley. The 2022 growing season was a nervous one, with late spring frosts, February rain and an unusually early frost on March 30, but the fruit came in clean at the end of the month. Everything is destemmed and fermented cool in 3,000-liter concrete vats, then held twelve months in that same concrete and bottled without fining or filtration. Fewer than 16,000 bottles were made, and the wine reads more like a cool-climate red than a warm one: savory, high-toned, built on acidity rather than extract.

"The 2022 Inseparable offers a slightly darker-fruited, more structured profile than the comparatively lithe and lifted 2021 I tasted next to it and will likely benefit from a bit of extra bottle aging to reveal its full potential. It opens with a subtle, herbal and black-fruited nose that gradually gains amplitude in the glass, introducing a svelte, elegantly concentrated palate retaining the finesse that defines the Per Se Range. It closes with a delineated, fine-grained and pleasantly drying finish. As is typical, it was destemmed and vinified entirely in concrete before maturing for 12 months." —Matthew Luczy

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled skirt steak with chimichurri, lamb with cumin and mint, beef empanadas, mushroom risotto, or a hard aged sheep's cheese.

Tasting Profile

Red and black cherry with wild herbs, damp earth and a pink-peppercorn lift. Medium to full-bodied and dry, with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. No oak flavor at all; the finish is savory, mineral and long.
