El Porvenir Icon

REPORT YEAR:
A dry season with 80 millimetres of rain, with the average temperature higher than in previous vintages, meant that the canopy and foliage had to be worked much harder to protect the grapes from the sun and rain.
CUT:
Malbec 80% - Cabernet Sauvignon 10% -
Tannat 10%
VINEYARDS / MASL:
Finca Rio Seco 1.700 metres above sea level vineyards planted 20 years ago in a sandy loam soil, from here come part of the Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Finca Alto Rio Seco 1.750 m.a.s.l., this is where a large percentage of the Malbec comes from.
Finca Alto Los Cuises 1850 m.a.s.l., we use a percentage of Malbec from here.
Finca El Retiro old vines planted 70 years ago at 1.650 m.a.s.l. in a very sandy soil, this is where the Tannat comes from.
HARVEST:
First fortnight of March for Malbec and Caber-net Sauvignon. Second half of March for Tannat. Harvest by hand, in 20 kg boxes.
FERMENTATION:
The alcoholic fermentation of the Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon was carried out in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation took place in oak barrels. The Tannat was fermented in oak vats and then aged in barrels.
HUNTING:
We make a selection of the best 500-litre French oak barrels. Our wine remains there for 22 to 24 months.
GUARDING POTENTIAL:
It is a wine that, due to its structure, can be aged for 15 to 20 years.
PRODUCTION: 6260 bottles.
