Bodega Vistalba Corte A Rare Red Blend

SOIL: Silt loam with medium to low fertility and low content of organic material. Well-drained with low salinity levels CLIMATE: Harsh winters and warm summers with mild or warm days and very cold nights. The broad daily temperature range to which vines are exposed during their vegetative growth favors color development and tannin production HARVEST: Grapes were hand picked and placed in 40-pound boxes. Malbec grapes were harvested from April 1st to 8th Cabernet on March 19th and Bonarda on April 20th. AGING: 20% of the wine was aged on French Oak for 18 months and stored in the bottle for 6 months before being released to the market. Aging potential: Up to 8 years TASTING NOTES: Inky purple color with a dark core. Aromas of mineral violets Asian spices and assorted black and blue fruits set the stage for a dense structured savory and impeccably balanced wine that will benefit from another 3-4 years of cellaring to reveal its full potential. – Bodega Vistalba
