WINEMAKING
Once the grapes were manually harvested, a meticulous double selection process was carried out. After a careful destemming, a microfermentation of each varietal took place in first-use French oak barrels and a total maceration of between 45 and 50 days. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts and malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously. The blended cut is finished in new barrels for 12 months.
TASTING NOTES
Deep red in color with violet hues. On the nose, Malbec offers notes of red and black fruit. Likewise, notes of peppers and spices provided by the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc stand out, combined with subtle touches of coffee provided by the aging in oak barrels and a lively profile by the Syrah. On the palate it appears as a complex wine, with great structure and freshness. Its elegance and liveliness stand out. It is an extremely captivating wine.
