Salentein Numina Malbec, 2022
Regular price €42,00RICH MALBEC FROM UCO VALLEY
Vivid violet-red color. Floral aromas, highlighted by violet and earthy notes, combined with hints of blackcurrant. Juicy in the mouth with notes of tobacco leaf and a long finish.
A Malbec that expresses the spirit of Salentein’s founding area vineyards, made with the best grapes that come from small selected plots. "Numina Malbec has varietal notes of flowers and berries with some herbs and plenty of spicy oak. It finishes dry, with a chalky sensation." Luis Gutiérrez 2022, The Wine Advocate

Vineyards
40% of the grapes were sourced from El Oasis estate (1,150 m.a.s.l). 60% were sourced from La Pampa estate (1,250 m.a.s.l). The sandy loam soil has a few stones on its surface that increase in number starting at a depth of 50cm, where calcium deposits also begin to appear.
Winemaking
Grapes were handpicked and transported in 400-pound bins; clusters were then selected and destemmed. The must underwent cold maceration at 46º-50°F for 4-5 days. For vinification, 15% of the grapes were transferred to 1,849-gallon foudres and 85% to various-sized stainless steel tanks. Fermentation was performed at a controlled temperature of 82º-84°F, with 60% initiated with selected dry yeasts and 40% with indigenous or wild yeasts. Pump over, rack, and return and punch down techniques were employed during fermentation. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine macerated for an additional 8-12 days, after which it was racked and transferred to oak barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation. After six months, the component wines were blended and then returned to barrels for aging. The total aging time in French oak was 14 months.
