VINES

100% Malbec grapes with a yield of 45 hl/ha. The grapes are harvested at the end of March by hand into small 20kg trays in order not to damage the fruit. The grapes are then meticulously sorted in order to select the best grapes for this wine.

WINEMAKING

Cold maceration for 5 days followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks at 28°C with 4 pump-overs per day and a maceration period of 20 days. 60% is then aged in French oak for 12 months.

TASTING NOTE
