El Esteco Cabernet Sauvignon

ORIGIN

Cafayate Valley, Argentina.

TERROIR

There are few places on earth where magic really happens. The Cafayate Valley, home of El Esteco
winery, is certainly one of them. This Valley, located over 1800 meters | 6000 feet hidden in the North
of Argentina, displays some unique characteristics. Poor alluvial soils; high sun exposure; low
humidity; and broad thermal amplitude make the Valley an exceptional wine region.

VARIETAL

100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

WINEMAKING

• Concentrated bunches of small grains are manually harvested in 18Kg plastic bins.
• Pre-fermentative macerations at 5°C in stainlesssteel tanks.
• Utilization of both native and selected yeasts for the fermentation process.
• Post fermentative macerations, totalize 25 days.
• Natural malolactic fermentation is carried in both American and French barrels of first, second and
third use.
• Finalizing this process, 80% of the wine is aged in the same oak barrelsfor 12 months.
• A careful selection of barrels is made, looking for medium-toasted oak in order to outstand the
freshness of the fruit.
• The wine is bottled unfiltered, and kept at the winery during 6 month.

Colour

Ruby red, profound and clean. Tears formed in glass indicate a very good structure and concentration.

Aroma

Spicy notes where black and red peppers outstand. Persistent and elegant. True exponent of a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Valley.

Palate

Ripe and round tannins fulfill the mouth. Black fruit and chocolate notes prevail where the oak is gently integrated with the fruit. Long and elegant persistence.
