Product Details
PRODUCTION
The grapes are selected on a double sorting table and gravity-fed into small stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation then begins with indigenous yeasts at 24°C for 15 days. No pump-overs are performed on this wine; the cap is stirred by foot treading during this stage.
TASTING NOTES
The strength of Gualtallary, its joy, with fresh red fruits, cranberries, and wild strawberries in the fruity layer.
Abundant spice, Andean undergrowth, and something very special of creosote bush and Andean herbs follow.
On the palate, the sensation intensifies, growing; it's a wine that begins with a mid-range note, gradually expanding and intensifying on the palate towards the finish. A very particular, ever-increasing sensation. The calcareous tannins and the caliche soil create a firm yet harmonious structure on the palate. Solidity, minerality, and a long, ever-increasing finish.
