Terroir:
"Pablo Y Walter" is crafted from Malbec grapes grown in Mendoza, Argentina, specifically in the Uco Valley. The vineyards benefit from the high altitude and the rain-shadow of the Cordon del Plata, which provide optimal conditions for growing high-quality Malbec.
Viticulture:
The grapes are sourced from 25-year-old vines. The vineyards are managed sustainably, with an emphasis on preserving the natural environment and ensuring the health of the vines. The high altitude and cool climate help maintain the grapes' acidity and develop rich, concentrated flavors.
Winemaking:
This Malbec is vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve its freshness and brightness. A portion of the wine is aged in French oak barrels (75% in stainless steel and up to 25% in barrels) for six months, which adds subtle complexity while maintaining the vibrant fruit character. The wine is unoaked, emphasizing the pure expression of the Malbec grape.
Tasting Notes:
"Pablo Y Walter" offers a vivid purple hue and is wonderfully aromatic with notes of violet, red currant, and cassis. On the palate, it is richly bloody, vibrant, and velvety, with flavors of raspberry, blackcurrant, and a hint of red apple. The wine has a lively acidity and ripe tannins, making it a vibrant and youthful Malbec.
