Chacras means "old farmhouse" and is also
the name of a town in Mendoza's Central
Region. With its thriving restaurants,
butcher shops and artisan markets, Chacras de
Coria is the area's cultural hub. Most local
winemakers live in Chacras and it is here that they
feel most connected to the land and culture.
We craft our Chacras Malbec in an authentic style
using 100% Malbec. It is the quality and style of
wine the local winemakers choose to drink. Bold,
spicy and full-flavored. There are no Cote or
Bonarda grapes blended into this wine, which is a
very common practice in the export market to
achieve price points. As a result of being all
Malbec, this wine shows sweeter, purer fruit and
is less tannin-dry than its blended counterparts.
Complexity is really the statement with this wine.
When we grow at high altitude two things happen:
Lower alcohol and more acidity. The finished
wine shows lots of red cherry and blueberry fruits.
The vineyard in the Tupungato being a little more
fertile gives the weight and density to the mouth.
The vineyard in La Consulta with its thinner soils
gives us the red fruit and spice. The combination
of these two small blocks is one of lifted black
fruit aromatics and a mouth that is elegant and
long. The finish has the classic Malbec spice with
big, full, supple tannins. A wine that will
definitely improve over the next 5 years.
