Product information "Benguela Cove Malbec 2019"
The Benguela Cove Malbec ensnares the nose with a seductive bouquet of freshly cut red roses, ripe plums, liquorice and cherries. These beguiling aromas are delicately rounded and complemented by cool spices, giving the bouquet a beautiful freshness. These exciting aromas, which can already be sensed on the nose, are also seamlessly carried through to the soft palate, where they are wonderfully complemented by densely interwoven tannins and end in a pleasantly long-lasting finish.

The grapes were hand-picked at optimum ripeness and carefully checked for quality in the cellar, bunch by bunch and berry by berry. The fermentation took place partially on the whole bunch in order to obtain a pleasant freshness and texture in the wine. A four-day cold swelling phase favoured a maximum of fruit and colour extraction in the wine. Selected yeasts were added to the juice to initiate fermentation, with the cap being submerged twice a day. Once the alcoholic fermentation was completed, the wine went into the press with subsequent malolactic fermentation in the barrel. Finally, the wine matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, 30% of which were new wood.
