Viñas Extremas Malbec | Vino de Los Chacayes
$ 90.950,00
This wine reflects the character of its origin, calcareous soils and a cool climate shape this Malbec into a truly unique expression.
Sourced from a vineyard located in the Los Chacayes GI (Geographical Indication) in the Uco Valley, it stands as the highest-altitude site within this appellation, at 1,500 meters above sea level. We farm our vineyards without herbicides or systemic products, following agroecological practices.
Vinification begins with 30% whole clusters, while the remainder is destemmed. The grapes are naturally transferred by gravity into small concrete vessels, where fermentation occurs with native yeasts at temperatures between 26°C and 28°C. We apply a gentle cap management to ensure a slow, delicate extraction. The wine is then aged for 16 months in French oak foudres.
