Description

Casarena Jamilla Single Vineyard Malbec 2019

Grape varietal & region: 100% Malbec. Casarena's Single Vineyard wine collection showcases the great soil potential in the Luján de Cuyo region, and is the result of extensive research and development by the agroenological team at Casarena.

Jamilla vineyard is in Perdriel. The vineyard surrounds the Casarena winery building and sits at an altitude of 940 metres above sea level, with vines first planted in 1995. Its soils are made up of what used to be part of the Mendoza River and has the presence of boulders. The soil profile is made up of a first clay-loam layer, followed by a gravel layer and boulder in different sizes. These conditions allow the soil to have a better drainage.

Taste profile: This  Malbec is a faithful expression of the diversity in Luján de Cuyo. Deep yet bright purple-red colour. Red plum and cherry aromas fill the nose, with subtle floral and tobacco layers soon following. Its fresh character, light texture, fine tannins and bright acidity typify the medium to full-bodied palate. Outstanding concentration of red plum, cherry and raspberry fruit flavours with support from tobacco, vanilla spice and subtle molasses nuances.

Winemaking process: Following harvesting, the grapes go through a double hand selection process. After a careful destemming, the fruit performs a cold maceration with whole berries. To assure a maximum aromatic expression, vinification starts with a natural alcoholic fermentation at low temperatures. The wine then goes through spontaneous malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels. Remains in the same barrels for 12 months maturation before natural clarification and bottling.

Ageing potential: 15+ years.
