MONTEVIEJO
La Violeta

Imagen
2015 | 100% MALBEC
Growing Season
This season was characterized by a mild winter, a cool summer and, finally, a rainy fall. Due to these conditions, the harvest had to be brought forward by 10 days. Just like the previous season, the number of days with extreme temperatures largely exceeded the historical record. Frost occurred less frequently during this season, 37% below the historical record. October and November were the driest months, with 1.5 mm and 14.8 mm of rainfall, respectively. In February, there was a 10% to 50% increase in rainfall. Fortunately, this did not affect our soils because of their excellent drainage. These conditions have resulted in fresh wines with low alcohol content, acidity higher than usual and great aging potential.

Characteristics of Beds Selected for La Violeta
Beds 5 and 9 were selected for La Violeta because they best express the elegance, concentration and genuineness of Malbec grapes.
Soil
Alluvial sandy loam soil with calcareous deposits and high percentage of stones (70%-80%).
Harvest
Harvest was conducted between the end of March and the beginning of April. Clusters were harvested by hand and stored in 12-kilogram plastic boxes.

Location of the Vineyards: Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina
Altitude: 1.100 masl.
Pruning: Double Guyot

Microfermentation
Grapes from each cluster were hand-picked. Afterwards, they were placed in French-oak barrels for cold maceration at 8 ºC for 10 to 15 days. During fermentation, barrels were rotated and pigeage was done manually on a daily basis.
Aging
24 months in new French-oak barrels and 7 years of bottle aging. Deep brilliant violet, this wine has good complexity of aromas resulting from aging combined with fruity aromas typical of the Malbec grapes grown in this zone.
Tasting Notes
Weather conditions present in February and March led to a cool season that conveyed structure and brightness to the wine. On the palate, the wine is wonderfully balanced in terms of acidity, sweetness and tannins. The long, lingering finish has great bouquet and carries the wood perfectly.

Aging Potential: Over 20 years
Production: 11,900 bottles
Serving Temperature: Serve at 14º-16º C
