Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The 2024 fruit comes from Tupungato in Valle de Uco, at an average altitude of 1,000 metres. The vines average 20 years of age. This limited-edition Malbec was conceived in Engineer Arizu’s notebooks and is made without chemical intervention in the vineyard or winery. The process is certified organic by LETIS S.A.
Grapes
100% Malbec.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested manually, followed by bunch selection and destemming. A cold pre-fermentation maceration takes place at 8°C. Fermentation follows in stainless-steel vats at a controlled 22–26°C with selected yeasts that are not genetically modified. Manual punch-downs extract colour and polyphenols.
Ageing
After alcoholic fermentation, 30% of the wine ages for 10 months in third-use 500-litre oak barrels. The wine is then gently filtered and bottled.
Technical data
2024: 13.7% alcohol, pH 3.6, total acidity 5.41 g/L and residual sugar 2 g/L. Recommended serving temperature is 16–18°C. The stated ageing potential for this vintage is 2 years.
Tasting profile
The 2024 is deep red with violet highlights. Blackberry, plum and blueberry aromas are complemented by delicate dried-herb nuances and vanilla. The palate is approachable and juicy, with rounded tannins and lively, refreshing acidity. It retains clear Malbec character and finishes persistently with savoury fruit.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 16–18°C. Suggested pairings include red meat, pasta and hard cheese.
