The grapes for this wine are sourced from the best vineyards in Alluvia, Gualtallary, and Los Indios, El Cepillo. The unique terroir of the Uco Valley, with its cold climate and an average temperature variation of 16°C in Los Indios and 12.5°C in Alluvia, and an average annual rainfall of 280 mm in El Cepillo and 300 mm in Gualtallary, is reflected in the wine's taste.
The vineyards are managed using sustainable agricultural practices. The grapes are hand-picked in the first week of April, ensuring that only the best fruit goes into the wine. The grapes are then gently destemmed, and a cold pre-fermentative maceration is carried out to preserve the primary aromas. The wine is then fermented at low temperatures, and a post-fermentation maceration is performed for 15 to 20 days. The wine is aged in first, second, and third-use French oak barrels for 12 months, adding depth and complexity to its taste.
Pair this wine with sirloin strip steak, chimichurri butter, French fries with herbs, and roasted tomatoes for an exquisite dining experience. The simplicity of this dish makes it even more exquisite and an excellent pairing for the Dona Paula Estate Malbec. With its exceptional taste and high-quality production, Dona Paula Estate Malbec is a must-try for wine enthusiasts.
