Max Malbec 2021 6x75cl

Max Malbec 2020 has a deep and beautiful ruby red colour with violets hues. The nose has aromas of fresh plums, black cherries, India ink, soft spicy notes that give way to delicate floral notes. Under what is perceived on the nose, the palate unfolds notes of fresh red fruits, soft herbal touches, spices and flowers, framed by sweet tones of pastries. It is a fresh and juicy wine with good structure and fine-grained tannins, delivering a pleasant chalky texture.

Vineyards

Our Max Malbec's grapes primarily come from our MAX vineyards in the Aconcagua Valley, located in the valley's interior; the vineyard soils have a predominantly silty texture and colluvial origin. The diverse soil's unique nutrition and drainage conditions help control plant vigour, producing balanced fruit loads with small bunches and berries.

Vintage

Long and gentle ripening season. Fresh, elegant and aromatic wines. The 2021 season began with a winter of average rains and a warm spring; however, this condition changed drastically during summer, presenting temperatures well below the historical average and numerous cloudy days. The biggest surprise came at the end of January, with abundant rainfall that set off alarms from the Central Valley to the South. On the other hand, in Aconcagua Inland, thanks to its location 85 km north of the Central Valley, rainfall was only 21 mm, which had no impact on the fruit’s health. The months of February and March were cold, and the ripening advanced slowly. During the last week of March, we had the last rays of sunlight necessary to reach the desired ripeness. The cold summer condition resulted in moderate alcohol and vibrant acidity, producing wines of excellent colour and aromatic intensity, fresh and balanced.

Winemaking

Grapes were hand-picked, sorted, destemmed, crushed and placed instainless steel tanks for fermentation. The grapes had a total maceration for 15 - 25 days. Afterwards, the wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, 35% new.
