Fermented in concrete tanks before the oak-ageing process, this Malbec is clean, rich and fruit driven. The nose offers spice and purple flowers, as well as cassis. The palate is fresh and supple, juicy blueberry flesh abounds with a nicely resolved finish.
“Mosquita Muerta” is an expression in Spanish which is used to describe a person with apparently little potential for success who ends up accomplishing a remarkable feat. Jose Millán chose this name for his project to mock those in the region who doubted of his potential as a wine business entrepreneur.
Hand-harvested grapes from each estate at different dates in order to find the ideal ripeness and expression. This wine is fermented in concrete vats, and 50% of the volume saw used oak barrels for six to eight months. It’s a neat, rich and fruit-driven Malbec with clean aromas and flavors, a nice mouthfeel and very good freshness.
Pairs well with beef, lamb, and poultry dishes.
