2013 SuperUco Gualta Malbec-Cabernet Franc Mendoza SuperUco

The 2013 Superuco Gualta (for now they cannot use Gualtallary, as it's a trademark of someone else) is two-thirds Malbec and one-third Cabernet Franc that was hand destemmed and fermented in third use rotating 500-liter oak barrels where the wine was macerated for six months. The fruit comes from the same plot as the Calcáreo wines from Gualtallary. The nose is elegant and perfumed, very showy and floral, open and expressive. The palate is soft, as the grapes were not crushed there is a semi-carbonic maceration that provides very aromatic wines with a soft, silky texture and they had a very soft extraction. There is great elegance, balance and length. It feels young, but it's very drinkable. This is terrific. Some 1,100 bottles produced.
