Variety: 100% Malbec
Region: Selected vineyards, Mendoza, Argentina

Winemaking

Harvest occurs in early March at optimal ripeness. Grapes are destemmed and transferred to stainless steel tanks, where a 4-day cold maceration preserves primary aromas. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out with selected yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation to enhance roundness and complexity.

Oak Stage

10% of the blend is aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels, adding subtle wood notes and structure.
