Malbec 2018
GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Malbec.
VINEYARD REGION: Plot No. 1. El Cepillo estate, Uco Valley.
WINE ANALYSIS: Alc/ Vol: 14%.
MATURATION: The harvest was carried out manually during the night to take advantage of the cool temperatures. Upon arrival at the winery, the bunches were destemmed and the berries sorted. Fermentation took place in 390-liter egg-shaped French oak barrels, and due to their self-fermenting capacity, no machines such as pumps were needed. This process helped enhanced the aromas and textures of the terroir. After alcoholic and malolactic fermentation ended, the wine was aged in the same barrels for 12 months. (in 390-liter French oak barrels.). Once the final cut is made, it goes through a second aging in Frenck oak barrels for 5 more months.
SIGHT: Deep red with purple tones, bright with good density.
NOSE: Very intense with black and red fruit aromas of plums, black cherries, blueberries, and blackberries. Notes of violets and wild herbs (chamomile and thyme) with balsamic hints define the complexity and character of high-altitude cool-climate Malbecs.
PALATE: Broad with well-defined flavors and good character. Red and black fruit flavors lace with mineral hints and a firm and refreshing acidity.
PEAK DRINKING: 25 years.
LAST HARVEST: 2018.
