Production of Puro Malbec Cabernet Mendoza 1.5l Magnum by Dieter Meier The grapes for this wine come from selected sites in Mendoza, one of Argentina’s most renowned wine regions. The climate is dry, with many sunny days and cool nights. This tension promotes aromatic grapes with intense color and stable acidity. The vines grow on gravelly, partly sandy soils with good drainage. This gives the wine power, density, and a clear, juicy fruit core. Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon complement each other ideally. Malbec contributes dark fruit richness, intense color, and a soft, almost sensual texture. Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure, firm tannins and marked cassis and bell pepper notes in a subtle form. Together they create a cuvée that combines richness and clarity and delivers a long finish. Depending on the parcel, the harvest takes place at ideal ripeness. In many vineyards the grapes are picked by hand, with selection directly in the vineyard. This ensures that only intact grapes make it to the cellar. Slightly later harvesting brings ripe, dark fruit without losing freshness, as cool nights support the acidity. In the cellar, everything starts with careful handling. The grapes are brought quickly to the press, often after a short maceration period that extracts color and aromas. Gentle pressing follows. Fermentation takes place under temperature control, usually in stainless steel tanks, to keep fruit and clarity in the foreground. Precisely managing the fermentation temperature promotes dense aromas and supple tannins. After fermentation, the cuvée continues to mature, depending on the lot, in stainless steel tanks or in wooden barrels. The subtle use of wood adds structure, fine vanilla and roasted notes without masking the fruit. Aging on fine lees lends additional fullness, delicate creaminess and more complexity.
