Tasting note
Purple with violet reflections. Nose: medium-high intensity, notes of red fruits. Palate: good entry, excellent freshness, hints of early-harvest raspberries. Notably fluid with natural acidity. Tannins and alcohol well integrated. Very good mouthfeel, overall structure.
Viticulture
Clasico Malbec´s grapes come from 8 vineyards located along the Río Negro river (Mainque, Cervantes, Valle Azul, Darwin, Luis Beltran). Classic soils of the Upper Valley, of alluvial origin, with loamy-clay and loamy-sandy texture. Vineyards with an average age of 40 years. High and low trellises. 5000 plants per hectare.
Vinification
Cold maceration for 48 hours. Fermentation in concrete and stainless steel tanks for approximately 12 days at 28-30°C. Manual punch-downs, gentle pump-overs, and délestage. Complete malolactic fermentation. Aging for 6 months in French oak (225-liter barrels) with 40% new barrels, 30% second-use, and 30% third-use. Bottle aging for 12+ months.
Food Match
Steak, pork, and lamb, as well as fattier fish like salmon and poultry with dark meat. Game meat—like bison, ostrich, and venison—are also a safe bet. In addition to meat pairings, consider foods with richer sauces or more vibrant flavors.
