Terroir Selection Malbec is made from a blend of five vineyards in Lujan de Cujo and Valle de Uco, each bringing different characteristics to the wine. Lujan de Cujo contributes elements of ripe, mouth filling fruit that is very long on the palate, while Valle de Uco supplies strength and young, primary fruit aromas and roundness in the mouth. Terroir Selection Malbec is aged in French oak barrels (new, one- and two-year old) for 12 months and in bottle for 6 months.The 2020 Terroir Selection Malbec blends grapes from their vineyards in different subzones of Mendoza. This time, 25% of the grapes come from the Albaneve Vineyard (Campo de los Andes, Valle de Uco), 20% come from the Temis Vineyard (El Cepillo, Valle de Uco), 30% from the Azamor Vineyard (Las Compuertas, Lujan de Cuyo) and 25% from the Alizarine Vineyard (Las Compuertas, Lujan de Cuyo), so it’s 45% Valle de Uco and 55% Lujan. It fermented in small concrete vats and matured in French oak barrels for 12 months. It’s ripe and balanced with 14.5% alcohol and has very good grip, polished tannins and ripe primary flavors with the oak neatly integrated. 84,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2022.
