Perdriel Malbec 2023
A ripe, succulent wine offering aromas of violets, spice and tobacco, leading to a round, mouth-filling palate, flavours of berry fruit and a persistent finish.
Grapes for this wine come from a single vineyard situated at 950 metres above sea level, with vines aged between thirty and fifty years. The fruit is hand-harvested into twenty kilo baskets, and the berries hand-selected.
Cold maceration for five days between 8 and 10ºC was followed by a seven-day fermentation at 25ºC and 25-30 days post-ferment maceration at 20ºC. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation and was then aged for twelve months in a mixture of new and second-use French oak barrels.
