Old Vine Field Blend Malbec/Carmenere 'Las Cruces'
De Martino
One of the largest holdings of organic vineyards in Chile. They reuse all water, everything at the estate is natural, and hand (or horse!) tended.
Winemaking
The grapes are destemmed and the whole berries (no crushing involved) are gently placed in tank, undergoing cold maceration for seven days. Alcoholic fermentation is spontaneous, once finished the wine was left in contact with the skins for 20 days before being racked into 5,000 lts. foudres where it was aged for two years.

Like no Malbec I have ever tasted
Amazing wine and completely unique. Great acidity and balance. I wouldn't guess the blend was made up with Carmenere as none of the classic green notes I would associate with the variety. Best wine of the year... so far!
