Fruit from Gualtallary at 1,450 metres brings limestone-derived freshness, joined by Lunlunta at 920 metres and El Cepillo at 1,090 metres. Together, these contrasting sites create a beautifully balanced expression of 100% Malbec.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes received five days of cold maceration before fermentation with indigenous yeasts and a total of 19 to 22 days on skins. The wine then matured for 11 to 13 months in first, second and third-use French oak barrels before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRed berries, cherries and fresh plum meet violet, subtle spice and mineral detail.
