Description:
The Malbec is considered as a variety especially well suited to Argentina and the grape used in Goyenechea's wine, comes from different established vine growers close to the Atuel River, in the state of San Rafael. The vineyard is comprised of vertical-trained wines with double Guyot pruning. The fermentation, although classic, was carried out by ''delestage'' system, macerating the cold unfermented grape juice with the solid parts of the grape for six days at high temperature. The malolactic fermentation took place afterwards. The finished wine was matured in tanks, for eighteen months, without any wood ageing. This Argentine Malbec is a plum red colour, with very high structure, good body, characteristic complexity and nice long finish.
