The vines are rooted in a high-density vineyard polygon in our Luján de Cuyo estate. The preparation of the soil included the addition of hummus, along with water management and organic coverage from day one, aiming for the roots to develop deep into the soil; a key factor to obtain wines with good quality and natural freshness, especially in warm climates. The soil here presents almost no clay but a great presence of limestone, ideal characteristics for the winery’s style.
Winemaking: 100% Malbec grapes hand-picked from an organic certified own vineyard. The grapes are released by gravity into small concrete tanks where the alcoholic fermentation takes place. The juice is fermented using native yeasts, at 26°C for 15 days. It is aged for 18 months in concrete pools (75% of the wine) and untoasted
Tasting Notes: The creative idea behind this wine was to show Lujan de Cuyo’s subtlest and most mineral side. This Malbec is different from the wines coming from this traditional appellation in Mendoza since it is certified organic and it comes from a polygon in our vineyard with limestone soils. It has a concentrated red ruby color. The nose is fruity and expressive showing typical notes of red fruits, plums and cherries, as well as notes of lemon thyme, eucalyptus and mendocinian underbrush. Freshness is the first sensation in the palate; the wine has an elegant acidity. It is a vertical Malbec with texture, supple tannins and a long finish.
Ideal to pair with roasted red meats and spicy dishes.
