Grapes
100% Malbec.
Vinification
For the 2024 vintage, the grapes were harvested by hand into 18–20 kg boxes. Bunch selection was followed by destemming and berry selection. The must underwent a five-to-seven-day cold maceration at 8–10°C, then fermented for ten days in small stainless-steel tanks at 24–28°C. Punch-downs and délestage provided extraction. A post-fermentation maceration followed alcoholic fermentation.
Ageing
Malolactic fermentation took place in oak barrels, followed by 12 months of barrel ageing. The wine was then filtered and bottled and rested in the cellar for at least six months before release.
Technical data
The 2024 vintage has 14.2% alcohol, total acidity of 5.4, pH 3.40 and 2.3 g/L residual sugar. Cellaring potential is 10 years.
Tasting profile
Bright violet in colour. The 2024 profile combines fresh plum and strawberry with spice and lightly toasted nuances from barrel ageing. The palate is round, concentrated, full-bodied and smooth, with firm tannins and balanced acidity. The broader house description adds ripe cherry, coffee-like roasted tones and a long, compact finish marked by energy and character.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 15–18°C.
