Quara belongs to the Lavaque Family.

If you liked the "regular" Malbec, you should try to seek out the Quara Single Vineyard series and also their Felix Lavaque which is an excellent Malbec based Meritage blend. I consider the Felix to be the best Blend made in Salta.

The Finca Remota is indeed an excellent Malbec.

Using the style of this wine, here is a shortlist of Malbecs I would suggest you seek out.......

Escorihuela DON Malbec
Apartado Gran Malbec
Flichman Grand Vineyards Parcela 26 Malbec
Cobos Malbec Marchiori Vineyards
Judas Gran Reserva Malbec
Nico by Luca Malbec
Nicolas Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino
