Vinification of the Dieter Meier Puro Malbec Grape Selection Mendoza

This red wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, Malbec. For this exceptionally powerful single-varietal wine from Dieter Meier, only first-class grapes were harvested. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Mendoza. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of sand, limestone and gravel. After the hand harvest, the grapes reach the press house by the fastest route. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation follows in small wood at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn into bottles.
