Puro Corte Mendoza 2018 - Dieter Meier

The Puro Corte from Dieter Meier appears in deep dark, dense red with violet reflections. This expressive red wine cuvée is vinified from Malbec (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (35%) and Cabernet Franc (15%).

In the nose, this Argentine wine has a wonderfully complex and intense scent of the typical grape variety fruit notes of juicy plums (Malbec) and black berries (Cabernet Sauvignon), which are underlaid with delicate vanilla notes and a fine oak spice.

On the palate the Puro Corte presents itself with a very powerful, full-bodied and juicy personality, which is further characterized by the wonderful harmony between fresh fruit, wood, spice and gently matured tannin. This red wine is incredibly fleshy and very well balanced with a clearly varietal fruit and a wonderful finish of spices and plums.

Vinification of Puro Corte Dieter Meier

In the Argentinean wine-growing region Luján de Cuyo on high altitude vineyards the vines for this red wine grow. The high altitude offers the advantage that the natural maturing process is delayed by the cool nights and the grapes for this red wine can reach their full maturity. The result is an excellent harmony between alcohol, tannins, aromas and fresh acidity.

These vineyards of Dieter Meier are cultivated exclusively under ecological cultivation methods

The grape harvest takes place in mid-April. After selection of the grapes, they are fermented at 27 to 29°C in stainless steel tanks. After alcoholic fermentation, this wine is matured in French oak barriques - of which approx. 50% are second vinification. The ageing in wood gives this wine even more fullness and structure.
