2019

Uco Valley

100% Malbec from two small parcels. 40 year old vines are located in “the shallowest and the most calcareous spots in this vineyard” which yield a very small production each vintage. Grapes are  hand-harvested and destemmed over bins of 300 kgs.,where  fermentation takes place. Maceration is about 40 days with low extraction. Aged 16 months in neutral French oak.

"The 2019 Malbec Volaré del Camino from Gualtallary, Uco Valley was aged in neutral barrels. Purple in the glass. The reductive nose features dark red fruit such as sour cherry and fresh plum along with lavender and black tea. Mild with chalky tannins, a compact beginning and tense flow, the fairly refined tannins allow the volume to build without losing the ethereal character. The 2019 is a taut, tense wine."
