WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for Cameleon Malbec are fermented in stainless steel tanks at 26 degrees Celsius for 10 days. Post-fermentation, the wine undergoes a brief aging period of a few months in new, toasted French oak barrels. The winery's philosophy centers on sustainable and organic viticulture, aiming to produce wines that reflect their high-altitude Mendoza terroir.
