Caliterra Malbec Reserva 2016

Caliterra Malbec Reserva 2016

Intense aromas of ripe plum and roasted coffee beans are
followed by floral hints. This medium-bodied wine is juicy and
displays an ideal balance of acidity and smoothness,
structured tannins—delicious by itself or with food. The finish
is soft and persistent.

Vineyard
Selected grapes from the Caliterra vineyards in the
Colchagua Valley where the type of soil is mainly colluvial
with a clay-loam texture.

Winemaking
Fermentation was performed in stainless steel tanks at initial
temperatures of 30° C that were reduced afterwards to 26°
C so as to avoid over extraction of the skins. 30% of the blend
is aged for 7-9 months in French barrel of second or third use.

Vintage
The vintage had a cool spring and warmer than average
summer.
