A blend of 100% Malbec grapes harvested by hand from vineyards in Medrano, Barrancas, and Lunlunta- 50% Estate grapes. We choose deep, fresh soils, to delay ripening, and avoid hydric stress. These are sandy loams where the clay component provides mineral nu- trients and water retention, while the sand component prevents the silt and clay part from compacting excessively, and guaran- tees water drainage. In this climate we avoid soils with abundant superficial gravel, which increases the warming effect, and might shorten the ripening season- which we rely on to give our Malbec its intensity and flavor.
