The eagerly awaited 100% Malbec wine was hand harvested on October 2, 2020. The grapes were delicately chilled to 35 degrees, destemmed, and then transferred as whole berries into stainless steel tanks. Following a three-day cold soak, spontaneous fermentation commenced, with pumpovers conducted twice daily for six days to extract robust flavors and tannins. The resulting wine was aged 36 months in French oak barrels.
