Description
What type of wine it is
The Diaguita Malbec from Les Grands Chais de France is a still red wine from Mendoza that embodies the proud character of Argentina. It is distinguished by a powerful and complex style, maintained in an excellent gustatory balance. On the palate, the Malbec offers intense hints of black fruit and a defined spiciness that enriches the sip. Thanks to cold maceration and fermentation, the pronounced yet velvety tannins create a solid structure and a long finish, ideal for accompanying red meats and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Mendoza, an area famous for its high-altitude vineyards. The grapes ripen at approximately 1,500 metres above sea level, where intense sun exposure ensures optimal ripening. This particular mountain environment gives the wine a deep ruby colour and a concentrated aromatic profile. In the glass, clear aromas of plum, black fruit, cherry and red pepper emerge, supported by a pleasant freshness that balances the richness of the sip.
How it is produced
The process begins with the harvesting, crushing and destemming of the grapes. To preserve its aromatic integrity, the must undergoes cold maceration, followed by fermentation. Part of the wine remains in prolonged contact with the skins to develop a defined tannic texture. This lot is then integrated into the final blend, giving life to a fruity and harmonious red that pays tribute to the strength of the ancient Diaguita people, ensuring a persistent and well-balanced finish.
