Vintage Notes:
The 2023 vintage began with reasonable weather throughout bloom and set. During the sizing phase, we experienced very warm weather that affected berry growth on many varietals. In mid-March, while harvest slowed due to moderate temperatures, the prolonged ripening period-maintained vine balance
and higher fruit quality. Overall, the 2021 vintage delivered yields slightly normal
while upholding our desired fruit characteristics and quality. Picked by hand during the last week of April
Fermentation Notes
The fruit was harvested on April 14, 2021, at optimum ripeness.
The grapes were hand-picked into 15-pound boxes and transported to the winery. Initial fermentation, as well as malolactic fermentation is completed in stainless steel tanks using the rack and return method of cap management. 100% malolactic fermentation.
Tasting Notes
Buen Andres Malbec, has a deep red, nearly purple color, with aromatics of concentrated black fruits and notes of dark fruit, spice and rich flavors continue on the palate. Quite brooding, but pure and focused. The tannins are super integrated and soft, but with terrific balance and finish that gives it unusual length in the palate.
Elegant wine that will hold its own when paired with grilled meats, roasts and game dishes.
