VINEYARDS
The vineyards are irrigated by ditch with melting waters from the Andes. Besides the purity of these waters, another paramount factor is the wide temperature range- difference in temperature between day and night- which helps the grapes to get thicker skins, more color and concentration of aromas. Finally, there is a constant breeze blowing from west to east that contributes to great health.

VINIFICATION PROCESS
Manual  harvest.  Selection  of  bunches  and  berries.  A  pre-fermentative   maceration   is   carried   out,   which   leaves   the   skins   in   contact   with   the   must   at   a   temperature  of  0  to  2  ºC  for  2  to  3  days,  with  gentle  daily   movements.   Fermenting   and   post-fermenting   maceration     in     small     vessels,     with     controlled     temperatures  that  oscillate  between  25  and  28  ºC  reaching  a  maximum  of  30  ºC.  During  the  whole  fermentation process, pumping up and breaking down is carried out to get all the must in an even contact with the skins. Natural malolactic fermentation.

TASTING NOTES
Vibrant ruby red with violet hues, bright and clean. In the nose  it ́s  intense  ,  we  can  appreciate  black  fruit  such  as  blackberries  and  floral  notes  like  violet  embraced  by  integrated  and  elegant  oaky  notes.  In  the  mouth  it  is  intense, full bodied with firm and marked tannins, which promise  a  long  and  safe  aging  in  bottle.  A  great  Malbec  with  full  varietal  expression,  where  fruit,  silkiness  and  balance stand out.
