Barrel Select Malbec - Finca Las Moras

Barrel-aged Barrel Select Malbec from the San Juan viticultural region presents a bright purple color in the glass. This single varietal Argentinian wine shows wonderfully expressive notes of plum, morello cherry, plum and black currant in the glass. These are joined by hints of oak, toasted barrique and cigar box.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with 5.1 grams of residual sugar. This is a real quality wine, which clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so this Argentine naturally enchants with the finest balance despite all dryness. Aroma does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. On the tongue, this well-balanced red wine is characterized by an incredibly velvety texture. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Barrel Select Malbec flatters with a soft mouthfeel, without lacking freshness at the same time. In the finish, this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of San Juan finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of plum and black currant. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by sandstone are added.

Vinification of the Finca Las Moras Barrel Select Malbec

The basis for the balanced Barrel Select Malbec from San Juan are grapes from the Malbec grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in San Juan. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of sandstone. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in small wood at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
