Material

• Merlot 100% from Finca Vidal in Tupungato, Mendoza, at 1050 meters above sea level.
• Selected grapes from a 60-year-old vine trellis; thinning was done to reduce yield and increase concentration.
• Hand harvested in 15 kg boxes in the fourth week of March 2018.
• Hot spring and summer temperatures are reflected in the optimal ripening of the bunches, contributing to the wine’s character and robustness.

Vinification

• Fermented with 15% whole clusters.
• Aged in second and third-use French oak barrels for 6 months.
• Total production: 600 bottles. Alcohol content: 14%.

Tasting Notes

• Brilliant ruby color.
• Intense, complex nose with aromas of ripe fruits. The whole clusters add spicy aromas.
• On the palate, flavors of spices and fresh red and black fruits stand out. Very good acidity and balanced tannins.

Suggestions

• Serve at a temperature of 14-18°C (58-65°F).
• Decant at least one hour before serving.
