ABOUT THIS WINE
The Kaiken Ultra Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a single-varietal wine from the Luján de Cuyo appellation in Mendoza, Argentina. Produced by Kaiken Wines, the winery was established by Aurelio Montes Jr., drawing inspiration from the Andean migratory geese that lend the estate its name. The Ultra range is designed to be a true reflection of its vineyard origin and the varietal's inherent qualities. The vineyards are situated in Vistalba, at an elevation of 1,050 meters, benefiting from alluvial soils and significant diurnal temperature variations, which contributed to the healthy grapes of the 2019 vintage.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Kaiken Ultra Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 undergoes a detailed winemaking process. Grapes are hand-harvested and selected before pre-fermentation maceration for 7 days at 10°C. Fermentation occurs in concrete tanks using selected and native yeasts for 7 days at 26°C, followed by a 20-day post-fermentation maceration. Malolactic fermentation naturally takes place in concrete tanks. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (one-third new, one-third second-use, one-third third-use), followed by 6 months of bottle aging before release.
