Lamadrid Reserva Malbec
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Lamadrid Reserva Malbec is made from 100% estate-grown grapes, sourced from Vineyard La Suiza in Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo.
- The vineyard was established in 1995 and benefits from stony loam soil and organic drip irrigation, which contribute to the quality of the grapes.
- Lamadrid Reserva is a rich, balanced Malbec that reflects the unique terroir of the region.
Varietals: 100% Malbec
Elaboration: Cold maceration is done at 9ºC for 4 days. Alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts lasts 24 days in concrete tanks, with daily pump-overs and délestage. Malolactic fermentation occurs in French oak barrels for 20 days, followed by 12 months of aging in second and third-use barrels.
Tasting Notes: Blackberry fruit on the nose with some black olive and sage notes. Creamy and dark-fruited, with a medium to full body and ripe, supple tannins. Savory freshness at the end. Vegan. Drink now or hold.
