Wine of Mendoza, Argentina
Selection from Our Best Vineyards
This wine is made from the finest selection of Malbec grapes from our best vineyards in Mendoza Province situated at over 3,200 ft. elevation in the foothills of the Andes.
The grapes are hand harvested and the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months to help round out the fruit-forward character. With a deep red hue and purple-blue tints, Terroir Selection Malbec has aromas of black fruits with vanilla notes. The wine has a rich, voluptuous character in the mouth, with soft tannins. With the overall focus on quality, this wine is made in very limited production, and average yields are low, around two plants per bottle.
In 2017, while black fruit, complexity and elegance were provided by the terroirs Alizarine and Azamor, fresh red fruit, tannin structure and aroma persistence were given by the terroirs Albaneve and Temis.
This wine is a natural product and can have some sediments in the bottle.
Closure: Natural Cork.

History: Count Patrick d'Aulan is the heir of 250 years of family tradition in the wine making industry. Seeking the best regions, his strong and enterprising spirit took him to explore Los Andes mountains. He discovered there an exceptional terroir, and gathered a passionate team, all sharing the same dream: To achieve the fullest expression of Argentinean wines and French savoir-faire. Since our first harvest, in 1998, our goal has been to produce authentic wines and to raise brand experience
Regional information: Terroir Selection is the selection of our best Malbec Terroirs in Mendoza. Based on the characteristics of each vintage, an assemblage process is carried out so that a new balance and harmony are reached due to the perfect combination of nature and man's work.
Luján de Cuyo, It is a warmer region that grants complexity, ripe fruit and spices flavours, and velvety tannins.
Uco Valley, a cooler area with greater thermal amplitude that gives us freshness, powerful colours and aromatic intensity.
Vinification: A manual harvest is carried out in small boxes. Then, grapes are carefully set on a double selection table. After estemming,
grapes are placed in 52-hectoliter cement tanksby gravity. Vinification starts with a coldmaceration process, and continues with analcoholic fermentation with regular delestagesto enhance extraction at temperatures under
strict controls. Finally, a long macerationprocess at around 28oC allows the wine toexpress its full potential. Ageing in french oak barrels during 12 month.
