Reviews

James Suckling 94

A rich and juicy Gran Corte of cabernet franc and malbec with plenty of sweet blackberries, violets and stones. Juicy and broad on the full-bodied palate with fine, sleek tannins. Very young and slightly monolithic now.

Vinous Media 95

The 2020 Gran Corte is a co-fermentation of 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Franc and was half-aged in new French oak barrels and half in foudres and used barrels for 18 months. Dark purple with a garnet sheen in the glass. On the nose, it offers balsamic notes along with blackberry and hints of ash, camphor and bay leaf. Dry and intense on the palate, the delicate, juicy, expansive flow soars over a velvety texture before the long, dark fruit finish. The 2020 achieves a lovely harmony rarely seen among the 2020 reds.

Technical Details

Ageing

100% in new French oak barrels. Ageing duration: 18 months.

Average age of the vine

17 years.

Food pairing

This wine is excellent with grilled meat, cheeses, chocolate desserts, and red fruit desserts. The Sommelier's advise: To be enjoyed with game, such as venison. Combine the balance of this Argentinian strength with the Fermier with Perigord truffle.

Harvest

Hand picking.

Soil

Continental terroir with a soil from alluvial origin, composed by clay, sand and with a high percentage of stones in the subsoil.

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.
