PETIT CARO MALBEC + CABERNET SAUVIGNON LAFITE RED 2019

Description

The 2018 vintage was characterized by an extremely dry climate. Our vineyards in Uco Valley suffered from a frost on the 6th and 7th of October, that led to a low yield. Despite a normal average temperature, we registered a lower number of days over 33°C than usual. The combination of these facts resulted in a quite early vintage. The variation between daytime and nighttime temperatures was exceptional in March, with an average of over 20°C in Altamira. During several mornings, we prepared to fight the frost before the harvest. The grape musts were juicy, with excellent natural acidity, and a higher concentration of colour compared to other vintages. Fruit expression from must to wine was a signature characteristic of this vintage from the onset.
