Tasting note
Aromas of dark berries like such as blueberries, cassis and blackberries, and floral notes which are the result of the cold year. The subtle chalky notes add complexity. This Malbec offers good natual acidity and excellent alcohol balance. Good flow of very fine tannins, compact and intense.
In the press
98/100 - Susana Balbo and her team chose Gualtallary for the Nosotros bottling in this warm vintage. There is huge breadth of complexity to the nose with graphite and tarry black and blue fruit. Dark minerals and a hint of cocoa powder and cigar box. Full-bodied and juicy on the palate with lots of broad-shouldered, fine-grained tannins. Intense, concentrated and incredibly persistent. Minerals in the end. Drinkable now, but better from 2026.
Viticulture
Traditional viticultural practices used.
Vinification
Grapes were refrigerated at 8°C for 24 hours before crushing. Double selection of bunches then cold maceration for four days. Fermentation in 6,500-liter (1,700-gal) oak casks. Push-downs were performed. Fermentation at 28°-30°C, with wild yeasts. Post-fermentation maceration lasted 30-35 days. Malolactic fermentation occurred in barrels.
