    About The Wine

    No matter what the vintage, this wine is really more than 100 years old. It represents a family's journey to produce an Argentine Malbec that can stand with the great wines of the world.


    Vinification

    This wine goes through an extensive cold maceration (10 - 30% Whole Cluster) of 2-10 days at less than 50ºF (10ºC) to extract aromas. The juice is then fermented for around 17-28 days with a total maceration of approximately 25-38 days. Elevage: 15-18 months in French Oak barrel. First, second and third use barrels.

    REVIEWS

    "A very well-made malbec with a mixture of red and black cherries, roasted spices and graphite. This is quite juicy and tight on the palate with good intensity and a fresh and flavorful finish. Drink now."
