Estate Malbec
Tasting Notes
This Estate-grown Malbec reveals a fruity nose filled with plum and quince aromas and a touch of elegant oak. The mouthfeel is full, with flavors of blackberry and licorice, and has a rich and lingering finish. There are smoky accents of vanilla and lingering oak.
Vineyards
100% estate-grown fruit. The grapes from the Pascual Toso Estate, located in one of the best wine growing areas in Mendoza, with vineyards planted in stony, alluvial soil in the Barrancas area of the Maipú district of Mendoza.
Winemaking
After hand-harvesting and careful destemming, cold maceration takes place for two days at 46F. The wine is seeded with selected yeasts and fermentation takes place at 78F between 15-20 days. Maceration occurs over an additional 10-15 days. Forty percent of the wine is matured in American oak barrels for eight months in order to provide the wine with its structure. Prior to bottling, the wine is filtered to enhance its vibrant color.
