The Piattelli Vineyards lie in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, where the century old vines are irrigated by the pure waters melting from the snow crested peaks; significant in making their wines exquisite. At Piattelli Vineyards great pride is taken in crafting wines with a sense of place, as each region has distinct terroirs and microclimates. Led by head winemaker Valeria Antolin, the wines are produced through her passionate pursuit of perfection.
The grapes were carefully selected. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 25 °C. Maceration lasted for 20 days to ensure the desired extraction of colour, flavour and tannins. The press wine and free run wine were separated and underwent malolactic conversion resulting in a softer palate. Maturation took place in 225-litre French and American oak barrels of second and third use, lasting eight months.
The smooth cool-climate Classic Malbec delights the senses with an aromatic bouquet of ripe plum, blueberry, blackberry and violet. With great structure on the palate, the vibrant fruit flavours are beautifully balanced through to a fresh and charming finish. Great to have this delicious wine back in our portfolio
