Notes from the Winemaker:
We choose a terroir along the side of Los Andes in Tupungato, Gualtallary to grow this complex Cabernet Sauvignon.
Aged in French oak barrels for 8 months in our cellar. Lovely deep red color, with ripe blackberry fruit. The spiciness of the nose is echoed on the palate and combines well with juicy red fruit flavors. Well integrated oak and fine tannins ensures a long and classic finish.
Wine Making:
Coming from a sustainable 50-year old plot, grapes are crushed, destemmed and go through pre-fermentative maceration at 11ºC for 24 hours. Alcoholic fermentation in tanks. 4 weeks of maceration with must. Aged in French oak barrels for 8 months, Malolactic fermentation in contact with fine lees.
Grape Varietals: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Ratings & Reviews
Antonio Galloni's Vinous:
"(13.9% alcohol): Bright medium ruby. Pungent, high-toned aromas of blackberry, black pepper, licorice pastille and spices, plus a faint weedy nuance. Sweeter and plusher in the mouth than the nose suggests, but still with a pungent licorice-and-pepper quality to its dark berry flavors. A bit disjointed owing to its combination of somewhat herbal flavors and thick, smooth texture but the tannins are harmonious and fine-grained. I'd like to see this again in a year or two." - Stephen Tanzer (July 2018)
