DIETER MEIER PURO "GRAPE SELECTION" 100% MALBEC - 2018 - ARGENTINA

The name speaks for itself. Courageous, natural and sustainable: this is wine in its purest form. PURO is made from organically certified grapes from our vineyard in Agrelo, Mendoza's leading wine region.

Colour
Intense purple red.

Aroma
Expressive and modern, with plum, vanilla and light oak.

Taste
Great structure, a wine that fills the mouth and whet the palate. Potent with notes of blackberries, coffee, and milk caramels.

Character
A reflection of all that Malbec can give, only for those who know how to find it. This is our great Malbec that we want to show the world.

Organic malbec grapes are carefully chosen in Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, an area known as the mecca grape production in Argentina. Located in alto Agrelo, at the foothills of the Andes Mountain range at more than 1100 meters of altitude. Native alluvial soil. Grown on a 15 year old organic vineyard, with high density of vines (4200 Ha), and low yield (less than 7000 Kg/Ha). The Malbec from Valle de Uco, which also grows on old organic vines is cultivated in sandy, calcareous soil. A drip irrigation assures that each plant receives the exact amount of water necessary.
We ferment in two different ways: concrete pools and french oak barrels. Macerations are slow, prolonged and intense so that the wine is structured and elegant. It spends a year in barrels before beeing bottled, where it gains body and volume
