Grapes
- 100% Merlot, from Finca Vidal in Tupungato, Mendoza, at 1050 meters above sea level. Selected from a section of a 60+ year old vineyard trained in pergola system, which underwent thinning during veraison to reduce yield and increase concentration.
- Hand-harvested in 15 kg boxes during the second week of March 2012.
Vinification
- Fermented with a percentage of whole clusters. Aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months.
- Total production: 1250 bottles
- Alcohol content: 14.5%
Tasting Notes
- Bright ruby color.
- Intense, complex nose with aromas of spices, red fruits, cherry, and strawberry jam.
- On the palate, ripe red fruit flavors evolve into earthier notes. Structured tannins and balanced acidity provide freshness that lingers through a long and elegant finish.
Recommendations
- Recommended serving temperature: 14–18°C (58–65°F)
