100% Malbec

 

Vineyard

21 hectares located at 1,100 meters above sea level in Alto Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Malbec is planted across different blocks of the estate, allowing grapes with diverse expressions to be obtained throughout its 72 hectares.

 

Winemaking

Harvest takes place at the optimal point of phenolic ripeness. In stainless steel tanks, a cold pre-fermentative maceration is carried out for 2 days, followed by fermentation at temperatures between 24 and 26°C over a period of 7 days. Fermentation is conducted using 10% indigenous yeasts and 90% selected yeasts. Once this stage is completed, the wine undergoes an extended maceration for an additional 13 days. Malolactic fermentation is completed through the action of natural bacteria present in the winery.

 

Aging

Sixty percent of the wine is aged for 12 months in first- and second-use French and American oak barrels, while the remaining portion rests in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards, the wine continues its evolution with an additional bottle aging period of 6 to 12 months.
