Amalaya Malbec 2015
Descripción
Las uvas de este vino proceden de viñedos que están plantados a una altura sorprendente: 1.800 metros sobre el nivel del mar, pero hablamos de la provincia de Salta, al noroeste de Argentina, en los Valles Calchaquíes, conocido por tener de los viñedos más altos del mundo. Malbec, Tannat y un pequeño porcentaje de Syrah son las uvas que componen este vino, suave y de aromas de cereza y flores como la violeta.
Esta botella se presenta con tapón de rosca.

Opinión de los críticos
The entry-level wine is called 2015 Malbec, even if it still has some 10% Tannat and 5% Syrah in the blend. 2015 saw 140 liters of rain, healthy grapes and good levels of acidity. The grapes come from seven-year-old vines that yielded 9,000 kilos per hectare, 100% from estate grapes. The grapes fermented with neutral yeasts after a four-day cold soak with a total maceration of some 20 days. 25% of the volume matured in used French oak barrels for ten months, while the rest was kept in stainless steel with fine lees. There is a smoky character that I believe comes from the skin of the grapes, which have a high impact from the sun—as with the higher altitude, the rays are much stronger and make grapes develop thicker skins. It made me think of a red from the Northern Rhône, mixing violets, bacon fat and great spiciness. They have replaced Cabernet by Tannat, and I think it has helped remove the herbal aromas and given more character to the blend. The palate is medium-bodied with great freshness and intensity, terribly tasty. This is so easy to drink, it can be dangerous... One to buy by the case, and great for by-the-glass. 695,000 bottles produced.
