TERROIR SELECTION MALBEC

A harmonious selection of the best terroirs of Malbec grapes. Assemblage is carried out based on the characteristics of each vintage.

VINIFICATION:A manual harvest is carried out in small 17-kilo boxes. Then, grapes are carefully set on a double selection table. After destemming, grapes are placed in 52-hectoliter cement tanks by gravity. Vinification starts with a cold maceration process, and continues with an alcoholic fermentation with regular delestages to enhance extraction at temperatures under strict controls. Finally, a long maceration process at around 28ºC allows the wine to express its full potential.
