Intense and lively purple color. The nose presents ripe red fruit such as plum and cherry and subtle herbal notes. Approachable and round tannins on the palate, balanced acidity and a fruity finish. Medium-bodied, elegant and fresh, with all the typicity of Malbec from the Uco Valley.
The alluvial soils, originated millions of years ago in the mountain range, are very heterogeneous and have large deposits of stones and minerals. The must underwent a cold maceration for 5 to 7 days before classic vinification with native yeasts. The wine was fermented between 25 and 27° C (77° F). Maceration for 20 days with periodic pump-overs and delestages. Part of the wine was aged in French oak barrels.
Today, Sebastián, third generation of the family, finds himself leading a young team of agricultural engineers and enologists, who are in charge of producing the highest quality wines in the Uco Valley. On his initiative, the winery has had a research and development area since 2008, dedicated to studying the terroir and the diverse variables that affect wine quality. The goal, in Sebastián’s own words, is “not to strive for perfect wines, but wines that express the place, the region.”
