Tasting Notes
The color is intense with violet tones. The typical Malbec from Argentina marks its identity with its aromas of violet and prunes. Malbec is a very intense wine and it is Cabernet-Franc who brings elegance and subtlety with very soft tannins and rose aromas. All these components provide the complexity and elegance which are necessary for a great wine. Serve at 16°C Decant for 1 hour.
Winemaking
Manual selection before and after destemming, then the grapes fill stainless steel tanks by the action of gravity. Traditional vinification with daily pumping over in stainless tanks. Maceration during 30 days (Cold maceration: 5 days, Fermentation: 25 days at 24-28°C). Spontaneous Malolactic fermentation.
