Terroir Series Malbec 2019 - Viña Kaiken

Viña Kaiken's Terroir Series Malbec is an expressive Argentine red wine cuvée made from Malbec (80%), Bonarda (12%) and Petit Verdot (8%) grape varieties. 

In the glass, this wine presents itself in a deep red violet with purple reflections. Initially, the characteristic floral notes of Malbec are noticeable, followed by the fruity berry aromas, especially strawberry, thanks to the Bonarda grapes. On the palate, Bonarda and Petit Verdot provide structure and freshness, while the Malbec provides the spicy fruit and fullness. The result is an excellently balanced, round and full red wine with a long, aromatic finish.

Vinification of the Kaiken Malbec Terroir Series

For this red wine, the grapes are both picked and sorted by hand. After selecting the grapes, they are cold-mashed at 10 ° C. for 7 days. This is followed by alcoholic, temperature-controlled fermentation at temperatures of 25 to 28 ° C. for 10-12 days. So that this Argentinian red wine gets its wonderful color and gentle tannins, this wine remains on the mash for another 7-15 days. Finally, 80% of this wine is aged for 7 months in French oak wooden barrels - the remaining 20% remains in stainless steel tanks.
