The season began with a dry and cool spring, which favored good fruit set in the vineyard. The summer was characterized by moderate temperatures and large amounts of rainfall in February and March, the months in which the harvest takes place. Towards the end of the harvest, rainfall decreased and temperatures did not have major peaks; they remained moderate and stable, maintaining the turgor of the berry and avoiding over-ripe descriptors. These conditions led to wines with great freshness and aromatic expression, high color intensities, elegant tannins and great structure.
Grapes from vineyards located 80% in Luján de Cuyo and 20% in Valle de Uco. The climate is semi-desert, with hot days and cool nights. We choose soils with very good drainage, a sandy-silt texture, with very deep root systems and with an enormous capacity for resistance to heat waves. We discard abundant superficial gravel soils, which increases the warming effect of the microclimate around the plant and can accelerate the maturation period.
Blend of 100% Malbec grapes harvested by hand. Use of selection table for cluster classification. Grapes from different vineyards are vinified separately before the final blend. Fermentation takes place in separate stainless steel tanks, between 24°C and 26°C, for 15 days. Fermentation exclusively with native yeast. Each tank is tasted 2 times a day during the process to evaluate its progress. Matured in concrete vats for a minimum of 9 months. It doesn’t pass for oak.
Our Classic Malbec consolidates its style in this vintage: a wine of pleasure, fresh and fruity, which above all seeks to show its place of origin. With a characteristic deep red color with violet tints, the nose shows an honest expression of the variety, full of notes of eucalyptus, cassis, white pepper, plum, cardamom, orange peel and jarilla. It is a very prominent nose, very typical of the winery’s style. The mouthfeel is juicy and crisp, with a marked acidity that guides the wine in the mouth. Its tannins are friendly, slightly sucrose, and it has a long and fruity finish. Ideal to accompany classic red meats, pasta or grilled vegetables.
