CORAZON DEL SOL

In 2008, Dr. Madaiah Revana went to Argentina seeking to add to his family of estate wineries which includes Revana Family Vineyard in Napa Valley and Alexana Winery in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Enthralled by the terroir of the Uco Valley, he was determined to find his next great estate here on the incredible alluvial soils of the Andes Mountains. The Corazón del Sol Estate is a 17-acre parcel planted in an ancient stone covered riverbed at the eastern base of the Andes Mountains and enjoys over 300 days of sunlight a year. Cultivated in the Uco Valley, which is situated in Mendoza on the eastern side of the Andes Mountains, the vines sit at 3,600 feet elevation, where the UV Index is intense, and the air is thinner and cooler.

Gran Reserva Malbec 2019

Wine Details

This bottle has the following characteristics:

Appellation

Los Chacayes I.G.

Winemaker Notes

New and second-use barrels of two sizes, 225 and 160 liters, tame the tannins that come from the concentration of the clusters in the vineyard - the result of leaving a single cluster per shoot. Aging 18 to 24 months in barrel gives the last touch of finesse to this super premium Malbec.

Winemaker

Santiago Achaval and protege, Cristian Moor

6 Day Fermentation at 25-29°C Native Yeast
