Discover the allure of MAX Malbec, crafted from 100% Malbec grapes cultivated in the renowned Aconcagua Valley. Sourced predominantly from the estate's MAX vineyards, the wine reflects the unique character of colluvial soils with loamy to clay-loam textures, promoting optimal vine vigour and yielding balanced fruit with small, concentrated clusters. Hand-harvested in the cool morning hours, the grapes receive meticulous attention, with double selection before fermentation and a careful ageing process of 12 months in French oak barrels, 20% of them new. The result is a sophisticated Malbec which perfectly balances elegance and structure, making it a standout choice for aficionados and newcomers alike.
