Description IV Generación represents the vision of the young members of the family and shows their identity as a new generation in the winery. The fourth generation proudly receives the family legacy and, focused on the present, is committed to the future. Tasting Notes The nose is intense and fresh, bursting with red and black fruit aromas, interlaced with spice notes of thyme and black pepper. French Oak aging imparts subtle notes of chocolate and vanilla. The palate is structured, well balanced and complex with substantial aging potential. Vineyards This single vineyard, select block Gran Corte embraces micro-terroir of the Andes mountains, with soils of alluvial origin, boulders of various sizes and poor in organic matter. The estate sits at approximately 3,600 feet, granting the vines vast thermal amplitude. The vineyard is irrigated with high-quality snowmelt that is collected in a dam located onsite and distributed through a drip irrigation system. The grapes for this blend were sourced from three blocks from the estate; the Malbec from Block #210, Cabernet Sauvignon from Block #203, and Merlot from Block #207. Winemaking The grapes were hand-picked and classically fermented. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French Oak barrels.
