Question 1
A guest asks why a lower-elevation Lujan de Cuyo Malbec from the classic export era might need more extraction and oak than a high-altitude Gualtallary Malbec. What is the best floor answer grounded in the contrast between these two zones?
A
Lujan de Cuyo fruit lacked the natural balance and structural elegance that high-altitude sites like Gualtallary later revealed, so heavier winemaking was used to build complexity
B
Lujan de Cuyo is located at a higher elevation than Gualtallary
C
Gualtallary wines are aged exclusively in new French oak while Lujan de Cuyo wines are not
D
Lujan de Cuyo has no history of quality Malbec production
