WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Cordero Con Piel De Lobo Malbec begins with hand-harvested grapes, sourced from various high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza. Fermentation takes place in concrete vats, a technique chosen to maintain the integrity and purity of the Malbec fruit. Following fermentation, about half of the wine is aged for six to eight months in used oak barrels, a mix of French and American oak, which imparts subtle layers of complexity and structure. The winery's approach emphasizes careful vineyard selection and a blend of traditional and modern techniques to craft a wine that reflects its origin and offers a compelling character.
