Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaRetasted nine months along, and the fruit, as sweet and dusky as it ever was, is now pinched with a twinge of balsamic, which tightens, squeezes and lifts this bigger Amarone-style red. This is a blend of malbec, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and bonarda. After harvest, the grapes were placed on drying racks outside, where wind and the elements dried the berries and concentrated the flavours and sugars. Grapes lost approximately 30 percent of their weight in this process. After wild yeast ferment and MLF in French oak barriques, this wine aged for 12 months in new French oak.

Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaSweet dusky and downy violets, cassis jam, balsamic jus flow through this amarone-style wine through to a vanilla pod finish. Plush, off-dry and full bodied, this is a blend of malbec, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and bonarda. What this has in impact (a lot!) it lacks in finesse (overt and clunky) at this stage. After harvest, the grapes were placed on drying racks outside, where wind and the elements dried the berries and concentrated the flavours and sugars. Grapes lost approximately 30 percent of their weight in this process. After wild yeast ferment and MLF in French oak barriques, this wine aged for 12 months in new French oak.
