VINEYARDS
Location The grapes used for this Malbec came from a single vineyard in Finca La Esperanza. Los Chacayes is currently considered one of the best terroirs for our flagship variety.
Altitude: 1,200 meters above sea level for Finca La Esperanza.
Yield: 10,000 kilograms per hectare.
VINIFICATION: Grapes were harvested during the night and just before dawn when temperatures were lowest. Alcoholic fermentation with select yeasts for 10-12 days at 26-28ºC, with controlled pumping over and punching down for maximum extraction. Total maceration time of 2 weeks. 30% of the wine was kept in contact with French oak of varying degrees of toasting for 6 months to respect the fruit and wine freshness and achieve optimum integration.
