MALBEC 93% - CABERNET FRANC 7% VINEYARDS -Location: Paraje Altamira, La Consulta in Uco Valley, Mendoza. -Clonal selection: Malbec Altamira - Cabernet Franc Clone 327. -Terroir: La Consulta Altamira, at 1,100 meters above sea level; sandy lime soils on massive calcareous blocks. -Yield: 6,000 Kilograms per hectare. HARVEST -Harvest time: 20th April. -Climatic characteristics: The 2016 harvest was affected by “El Niño” phenomenon which brought on a cold and rainy spring; therefore, bud-break was delayed in approximately 2 weeks. As summer was rainy and cool, ripening was also delayed in 2 weeks. As a result, red wines turned out highly aromatic, exhibiting fresh, red fruit and floral notes. On the palate, fresh and persistent. WINEMAKING TASTING NOTES -Color: deep red, violet at the rim. -Nose: intense, with fresh fruit notes of blackberries and black cherries and floral violet accents. After the wine is swirled, spices like peppercorn and vanilla emerge followed by caramel and toast hints from the oak ageing. -Palate: it is a fruity, full-bodied and unctuous wine. It boasts sweet tannins due to the perfect ripeness of the grapes. A fantastic wine with persistent finish and outstanding cellaring capacity. Bottle-ageing will build up complexity and aromatic intensity. Alcohol: 14.5% Serving temperature: Between 16 ºC and 18 ºC. Volume: 750 ml. Peak drinking: Best if consumed between 2018 and 2038. Production limited to 6,600 bottles.
