Until our youngest vines are mature enough to produce grapes with enough complexity to qualify for our top wines, we use these grapes in our Varietals range. With our Malbec we offer the distinctive flavors and purest expressions of the emblematic varietal of Argentina. We produce this wine using the same process, care and love as per our Colección.

The warm winter generated a generous and homogeneous, but too early budburst. In October, spring frosts affected some early shoots and produced a decrease in production. December and February were the rainy months in this overall very dry and warm season, with minimums, averages, and maximums higher than usual, especially in November and March. The entire summer has been hot, and the low relative humidity kept the vineyard in very good health, without cryptogamic disease. This allowed optimal phenolic maturity, concentration, and quality. Maturity happened very early and the harvest has been advanced by 2 weeks. The low-yield 2020 vintage is characterized by an extraordinary quality.

After the manual double-sorting, once the vats are full, the grapes undergo a cold maceration before the alcoholic fermentation occurs thanks to the native yeasts of the vineyard. This takes place in stainless steel tanks at a maximum of 72ºF and lasts from 10 to 15 days.
Malolactic fermentation: 100%
Aging: French oak barrels for 12 months
