A Good Honest Persistent Malbec

WINEMAKING

Grapes from different vineyards are vinified separately before the final blend. After a careful selection process, the grapes are softly pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks between 24°C and 28°C to promote the maceration. During the fermentation process the must is pumped over 3 times a day for extraction, with 2 rack-and-returns taking place in total, once at the beginning, and once at the end. The wine is then aged in new French and American oak insert staves.

WINE
Deep, purple-red hues hint at a classic, Mendoza Malbec. Delicate aromas of fresh black currant, wild blackberry and
notes of soft vanilla blend with a subtle toasted-oak finish. The palate displays characteristics of the excellent 2011
vintage: juicy, elegant fruit, soft tannins and a balanced structure. The result is an honest, persistent Malbec.
