Wine Description:
Siesta Malbec is a single vineyard wine produced by Ernesto Catena in the Vista Flores subregion of the Uco Valley in Argentina's Mendoza province. The vineyard is located at high altitudes, which results in deep-colored wines with floral aromatics and a firm structure. The winemaking process involves fermentation and aging in oak barrels for coffee spice complexity. The resulting wine is a deep ruby color with intense aromas of black fruits, spices, and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a firm texture, and flavors of ripe blackberries, plums, and chocolate. Siesta Malbec is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a rich and complex wine with a long and satisfying finish.

Wine Expert Note:

This Siesta Malbec has a brooding purple color that turns bright pink at the rim, hinting at the floral notes of violet and blueberry fruit that are to come on the nose. The body is generous, with a firm structure of grainy tannins and taut acidity. The finish is long with coffee grounds complexity. A great example of high-altitude Malbec that combines precision and power. Drink with grilled meats and enjoy within the next 8 years.

Nestled on the Mendoza River's banks, this Argentine property holds the oldest Malbec vines, dating back to the 1850s, making it Malbec's true home in the country. Alberto Arizu Snr guides visitors through the vineyard, revealing a unique mutated Malbec species, exclusive to this site. Hand-harvested and meticulously sorted, the grapes undergo a cold maceration before fermentation, followed by post-ferment maceration for tannin extraction. The wine ages for 12 months in new French oak barrels, undergoes cold stabilization, and is bottled without filtration. Each vintage is a piece of wine history, showcasing the property's enduring legacy and commitment to traditional winemaking.
