Andeluna Altitud Malbec 2017

Andeluna Altitud Malbec 2014 is a single-varietal red wine, 100% Malbec from vines located in Tupungato.

TASTING NOTE
Intense red color with violet tones. Floral aromas, red fruits, notes of vanilla, coffee and chocolate from its passage through barrels. In the mouth, sweet step with soft tannins and a long persistence.

VINIFICATION
The grapes used are extracted entirely from the vineyards located in Tupugato, Mendoza at more than 1300m above sea level, an area that thanks to its great thermal amplitude allows to obtain wines of great intensity in its color and an important aromatic and structural expression . The vineyards chosen have an adequate irrigation management through the drip system that provides the exact amount of water needed by the plant. The management of the canopy is carried out with a yield per hectare of less than 7000kg. The clusters are characterized by having small grains and have adequate exposure to the sun to preserve the aromatic characteristics. A strict polyphenolic control of concentration (anthocyanins and tannins) is carried out as well as a daily tasting of the grains. The grapes are harvested at early hours, manually, making a preselection in the vineyard. Selection of grains manually. Pre-fermentative maceration at low temperatures. Fermentation by means of selected yeasts in stainless steel vessels at a controlled temperature that oscillates at 26ºC. Three daily remounts and one to two delestage per day. Later, the wine rests in barrels and then in the bottle.

AGING
Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels to be stowed in bottles for 8 months before its launch.

ADVICE
It has a great potential for storage since it can remain in the bottle for 8 more years.
