Tasting Notes This is a very expressive wine with ripe, fruity aromas of plum and cherry, as well as notes of chocolate. On the palate, Reunión Malbec is soft and round with velvety and mature tannins. It has a well-balanced and full-bodied long finish.
Vineyard Notes This single-vineyard estate wine comes from the Los Sauces region of Mendoza's Uco Valley. The high-altitude vineyard (3,280-4,074 ft) was planted in 1996 and benefits from the region's significant diurnal temperature shifts, which help develop both ripe fruit characteristics and balanced acidity in the grapes.
Winemaking Notes The grapes undergo pre-fermentation maceration at 46 degrees F to extract color and flavors gently. After fermentation with selected yeasts, the wine is aged for 5 months in a combination of French (70%) and American (30%) oak barrels, providing subtle complexity while preserving the vibrant fruit character.
