Vineyard

For over a century, the family's past generations have produced grapes and wines of quality and authenticity from the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Selected from small lots in Alto Agrelo vineyard, the grapes for this wine showcase dense, concentrated black fruit aromas and flavors.

Vinification

The wines go through a cold, pre-fermentary maceration to preserve primary aromas, then a series of delestages and pumpovers during fermentation for a more balanced extraction. The juice is fermented for about 14 days at low termperatures and is followed by a post-fermentation maceration. TA: 5.3. pH: 3.62

Aging

6 to 8 months in 100% French Oak

Tasting Note

The Tolentino single vineyard Malbec has a dark violet color with dense black fruit aromatics and some mocha character in the nose. It also has very soft and silky tannins, a natural balance, nice concentration and a distinctive smooth lengthy finish.
