Magna Montis "Perdriel" Malbec 2022

Very limited edition of 280 bottles of this Malbec that was born from the idea of giving a modern approach to a traditional area, Luján de Cuyo. The vineyard soils have a layer of clay followed by alluvial stone and remarkable microbio, with organic and biodynamic management. The result is an agile wine with red fruit with light spicy touches on the nose, polished tannins and a freshness and structure that stands out -- an elegant and vibrant wine.

Magna Montis means “Big Mountain” in Latin, referring to The Andes, the largest Continental Range in the world and home of their wines. In Argentina altitude is one of their trademarks, however, Magna Montis values the importance of each of the players in the Ecosystem as well, meaning that their interpretation of the place will give a unique style to their wines.

Their philosophy is to make the wines they consider that show a place in particular vintage, making a yearly challenge without loosing the joy. They are fascinated with the fact that each year is a new opportunity to show different expression of the same place.

Grapes are hand picked and then brought into the cellar for spontaneous fermentation. About 80% of the grapes are de-stemmed and sent to stainless, along with the remaining 20% whole clusters. Cold maceration takes 20 days, with one soft punch down per day. When alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine is pressed off the skins and sent to concrete tanks for one year of aging. It is gently fined and filtered to preserve freshness and bottled with 75 ppm sulfur.

Throw this Malbec in the fridge for 30 minutes before popping it open.
