-- Lonko Malbec Single Vineyard 2005, Argentina
An "undiscovered Malbec gem from the Neuquen region"- Washington Post.
This is a young winery founded in 2001, located in San Patricio del
Chañar, in the region of Patagonia. This is "a new wine making valley
where we make a unique wine, the result of living southern nature,
patient human effort and the state of the art techniques." The vineyard spreads over 162 hectares
(401.8 acres) of land, at 300 meters above sea level.
The first grapes were planted in 2001. The climate is
mild and arid and the area has considerable thermal
amplitude, which are ideal conditions to grow high
quality grapes. The soil is arid and alluvial with low
contents of organic materials and an excellent
permeability and drainage. The
wine has been aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 months,
followed by a minimum of 8 months in bottle prior to release. Offering
intense ruby red color and aromas of plum and violet, Lonko is ripe
yet sophisticated, with a touch of spice and vanilla. Enjoy this
elegant and balanced wine with grilled fare, including vegetarian and
poultry dishes.
