WINEMAKER'S NOTES The fruit was mature enough that we did not have to dry it too much so we only dried it for 6 days in the kiln. After that, whole bunches were transferred into the stainless tank and given 10 days of carbonic maceration with CO2. The fruit was destemmed to concrete for 7 days of skin contact to get more colour and structure. Finally we pressed it into a 2000L concrete tank where the juice fermented and aged for 8 months and it was bottled unfiltered.

SOMMELIER'S NOTES Well this is interesting, and varietally correct from my experience with Malbec’s done in this style. The carbonic fermentation is obvious on the nose, having elevated wild berry and a slight floral lift. There are some herbal and tea undertones with a barnyard finish from the Brettanomyces. If you love old-world yet geeky wines, this is for you. The palate is fresh and the tannins are already integrated. I really enjoy this wine.
