A shorter harvest than others, but no less intense. It was a year marked by severe heat waves, a year in which physiological ripeness was slightly delayed compared to organoleptic ripeness. Our work in the vineyard allowed us to reach the desired alcohol and acidity levels just before the heat waves, preserving the fruity character and tightness of the berry skin. The season also saw heavy rainfall, which threatened to delay the harvest. However, the rains ceased, opening a window, just in time, to harvest at optimal ripeness and health. The cold weather of the last few weeks gave the berries the necessary time to finish ripening and balance all their compounds. It was a vintage of great concentration, color, and health, in which fruit and spices predominated.
Grapes from vineyards located 70% in Luján de Cuyo and 30% in Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley. The climate is semi-desert, with hot days and cool nights. We select well-drained soils with a loamy-sandy texture, deep root systems, and a tremendous capacity for resistance to heat waves. We discarded soils with abundant surface gravel, which increases the warming effect of the microclimate around the plant and can accelerate the ripening period.
Blend de uvas 100% Malbec cosechadas a mano. Las uvas de diferentes viñedos se vinifican por separado antes del blend final. La fermentación se realizó en tanques de acero inoxidable a 24°C, durante 10 días, con un 5% de racimo entero. Fermentación exclusivamente con levadura nativa. La extracción se minimizó durante el proceso, para evitar las notas típicas de una añada cálida. Madurado en cubas de concreto por 9 meses. No pasa por roble.
Esta añada muestra un color concentrado y vivaz, rojo rubí con tintes rojizos. La nariz es muy típica del estilo de la bodega, con notas de ciruela, bosque, pólvora, pimienta negra, eucalipto y pimienta rosa. Tiene una entrada fresca en boca, con acidez fina y taninos equilibrados. Es un vino de estructura media, jugoso. Ideal para acompañar las clásicas carnes rojas, pastas o verduras grilladas.
