100% Malbec from 30-50 year-old vines located on the prized 3ème terrasses and cropped at yields of less than 20hl/ha. 100% de-stemmed and fermented for 40 days with daily punch-downs for the first few days. Malolactic conversion occurs in barrel and the wine was matured on fine lees for 26 months in two-thirds new large format oak (pictured above) and one-third seasoned barriques. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulphur.
'Organically grown grapes go into this very fine wine. Its structure and balance confirm that it's still young, bursting with juicy ripe berry fruit and with firm background tannins. Its great fruitiness is contrasted with the strength of those tannins and with its concentration. Drink from 2020.'
