From the heights of the Calchaquí Valleys, in the prestigious area of Yacochuya Norte, this Malbec is born, reflecting the soul of the Salta terroir. Cultivated at 2,000 meters above sea level, in soils gravelly sand, with Drip irrigation with meltwater and driving High backrest, this wine expresses the intensity and elegance characteristic of high-altitude vineyards.
The harvest is done manually, in small 20 kg boxes, in early April, with a controlled yield of 80 cwt/acre and a density of 3,700 plants per hectare. Winemaking takes place in concrete piles, with native yeasts, fermenting between 23 and 26 ºC for 15 days, followed by an extended maceration of 25 days. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation naturally, lending softness and roundness.
One 30% of wine mature during 8 months in second-use French oak barrels, respecting the fruity and authentic character of the Malbec without overloading it with oak. The result is a wine of great varietal expression, produced in a limited edition of 40,000 bottles per year.
A high-altitude Malbec, authentic, intense, and elegant.
