Organic |Mendoza | I.G. Los Chacayes The La Coste de Los Andes Malbec captures the essence of our estate parcels in Los Chacayes and Gualtallary, where high-altitude sunlight, calcareous soils, and cool mountain air shape wines of precision and character. Each varietal is vinified with gentle, thoughtful craftsmanship - manual harvesting, native yeasts, minimal intervention - to reveal the elegance, minerality, and layered complexity inherent in these Andean soils. WINEMAKING The finest Malbec parcels are handpicked grapes from vines over 10 years old, located in sandy loam soils. Cold maceration takes place for four days before the fermentation process begins for 15 days, with 50% of this taking place in concrete egg tanks and 50% in new French oak barrels. Post fermentation, extended maceration takes place for 35 days in contact with the skins to bring concentration and structure. Each parcel is fermented independently ahead of blending. Finally, the blended the wine is then aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels. TASTINGDeep red in colour, with aromas notes of blackberries, cherries and truffle, complemented by notes of herbs typical of the fields of Los Chacayes. On the palette, Malbec 2020 has a sweet and powerful feel with a long, mature finish. GRAPE VARIETIESMalbec SERVING ADVICEThe recommended serving temperature is 14-16°C.
