Tasting Notes
This Malbec was born in a hot, dry year, giving it a pronounced structure that maintains the highly unique characteristics of the Altamira area. You can sense the mountain landscape from the wine’s aromas and flavor profile; geraniums and herbs with lots of depth and concentration, but also a fresh and lifted quality. The flavors linger pleasantly long after the last sip.
Method
Chakana 20 Vueltas al Sol is 100% Malbec from a very specific plot of Finca Los Cedros de Paraje Altamira, in Valle de Uco. On this plot there is a pronounced patch of calcareous and stony soil that differs from the rest. It’s a special vineyard whose subtlety has always stood out. The grapes grow at an altitude of 1100 m asl on sandy, chalky, limestone soil. The juice is wild yeast fermented with minimal sulfites added. The wine rests in 500 liter German oak barrels, third and fourth fill for 18 months. Just 150 bottles made!
