Escorihuela Gascon 1884 Limited Production Malbec

Every bottle of Pequeñas Producciones highlights the typicity of each varietal. We select the best terroir for each of the varieties that are part of this ultra-premium range of wines to deliver their purest expression to the bottle. This Malbec is sourced from four different vineyards: Las Compuertas and La Consulta, vines with more than 100 years old and deep clay loam soils, Vistaflores, with sandy-loam soils covered by calcareous rocks; and our estate-owned vineyard located in El Cepillo, an area with a rocky surface rich in calcium carbonate and a sandy-loam texture. This has been one of the coldest vintages in the last three decades. The El Niño climatic phenomenon caused a dry summer with scarce rainfall and fluctuating temperatures. Yields were low, with good grape sanity, and the Andes Range was entirely covered in snow throughout the summer. The combination of rainfall and cooler days led to an anticipated harvest with optimum ripeness and healthy grapes that delivered wines of great concentration and good acidity. 100% Malbec Sight: Bright and concentrated red color with purple tones. Nose: : Captivating aromas of ripe fruits such as plums, cherries, and blueberries. Notes of fresh violet and wild berries combine with earthy, smoky, and spicy hints. Palate: Broad and juicy with a sweet and fruity mouthfeel. Dry, fresh and flavourful midpalate Its young and velvety tannins are in balance with its fruity, persistence and intense finish. 93 Points - James Suckling
