This wine is made from 100% Malbec grapes, hand-harvested from vineyards located in Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, at 3,250 feet above sea level. .To achieve an ideal concentration of aromas and tannins, production has been reduced to 7,000 lbs per acre. Following manual selection, fermentation takes place during 7 days in small stainless steel tanks with controlled temperatures. Finally, the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and for 9 months in the bottle in our underground cellar.
Notes:
This dark purple Malbec has hints of pepper and ripe plum, is intense and well-balanced.
