The wine region of San Rafael
Argentine region south of Mendoza, altitude vineyards (400-800 m) between Andes and Pampa, 2nd Argentine DOC. Malbec signature red: deep and expressive with signature notes of blackberry, black plum, violet, sweet spices and ink touch, round tannins and sunny mouth — typical fleshy Mendoza style. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, eucalyptus), supple fruity Bonarda, fresh Chenin and ample Chardonnay in whites. Dry climate with strong thermal amplitudes, Andes-irrigated.
The wine region of Mendoza
World capital of Malbec: powerful, deep reds with blackberry, plum, violet and sweet spice, round tannins and vivid fruit. Also firm Cabernet Sauvignon, supple, juicy Bonarda, aromatic floral white Torrontés. High-altitude vineyards (800-1,700 m) at the foot of the Andes, dry continental climate irrigated by glacial waters. ~80% of Argentine output across 150,000 ha.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
