WHAT MAKES MAI SO SPECIAL?

• Centenary Ungrafted Vines: Crafted exclusively from rare 110+ year-old vines planted in 1910 in Vistalba, Luján de Cuyo. These ancient vines produce extremely low yields with extraordinary depth and concentration.

• World-Class Pedigree: Created by legendary winemaker Aurelio Montes Sr., bringing pioneer Chilean expertise to Argentina’s high-altitude terroir (1,050 meters above sea level).

• 18 Months French Oak Maturation: Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels followed by 12 months in the bottle, creating a luxurious bouquet of black plum, sour cherry, tobacco, and cocoa with seamless aging potential.

• 98-Point Score from James Suckling: “This is one of the best Mai wines I have ever tasted, with blackberry, mineral, bark, spice and coffee bean character. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine linear tannins… Racy and energetic.”
