2011 Dona Paula Estate Malbec

Figs, dark fruit, a hint of licorice. Dona Paula does no wrong. Well Dona Paula doesn't really do anything; the winemaker David Bonomi and the viticulturist Edgardo del Popolo do most of the work.

    Winemaker's Notes
    "Intense violet color, plums, black cherries, licorice and dried herb aromas in the nose. Sweet, round and ample in the mouth with a lingering finish."
    Technical Notes
    "Careful and gentle destemming with partial berry crush with the purpose to provide fresh berry aromas and a carbonic maceration expression to the wine. Cool pre-fermentation maceration for 2-3 weeks to extract primary aromas, flavors and intense color under non-alcoholic phase. Fermented at 25C, keeping the freshness the wine is then racked to new, second and third use French barrels (33% of each one) where the wine is aged during 10 to 12 months before being bottled. Total Acidity: 5. 79 g/l (tartaric acid) pH: 3.5 Residual Sugar: 2. 14 g/l 14% alc."
