Description Brigth red color with blue hints. Unctuous in the mouth, full of red fruit jam which can also be perceived in the nose. Vineyards Single Vineyard, Altamira - La Consulta - Mendoza Variety Malbec 100% Age of Wines Planted in 1930. Density 7200 plants per hectare. Harvest Method By hand. Vinification 10% bleed-of. Cold maceration at 6º for 10 days, alchoholic fermentation with indigenous yeast in french oak barrels for 32 days between 29 - 32ºC, with 4 daily punch-downs. Melolactic fermentation in oak during 35 days. No stabilization, no filtration, no clarification. Ageing 24 month in 100% new french oak barrels. Reviews Vintage 2008: Wine Advocate 91 Points “Reveals more development in its enticing perfume from its estended stay in bottled. Notions of sandal wood, exotic spice, dried hebs, and assorted black fruits lead to a still tight, dense, structured wine in need of 3-4 years of cellaing. It has all the rigth stuff but patience will be required. Its drinking window will extend from 2015 ti 2023. The grapes are sourced from old wines in La Consuta”. Jay Miller Feb. 2012

WINEMAKING
Hand-harvested grapes with cold pre-fermentation maceration, fermentation with indigenous yeasts and malolactic fermentation in oak, followed by prolonged barrel aging — a traditional approach that builds complexity and structure.
