VINES
A blend of 85% Malbec, 15% Cabernet Franc with an average yield of 40 hl/ha.
The grapes are hand-harvested in April into in small trays of 20 kg in order not to damage the grapes.
The grapes are then meticulously sorted in order to select the best grapes for this wine.
WINEMAKING
Cold maceration at 10-12°C for 5 days followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks at 28°C with 3 pump-overs per day and a period of 25 days of maceration. 70% is then aged in French oak for 12 months.
TASTING NOTES
Dark red colour.
Fresh and crisp on the nose. This wine shows nice aromas of red dark fruits with a touch of mint.
The combination of Cabernet Franc´s blackcurrant fruit and elegant structure with the rich black and red fruit of the Malbec is an excellent match.
This is a perfect food wine with a good structure and a long aftertaste.
