WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Auténtico Malbec is produced from hand-harvested grapes. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks and sometimes in concrete eggs, utilizing traditional methods like pigeage. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a 10-month aging period in stainless steel tanks. It is then aged further in bottle before release. This winemaking process emphasizes minimal intervention to highlight the fruit and terroir.
