Bodega Manos Negras Malbec Stone Soil 2019
Sourced form Altamira district of the San Carlos country, located in the southern Uco Valley at an elevation of 4000. Altamira has Mendoza's most unique soil profile, with a patchwork of sandy, silty and stony soils all present in the same vineyard. The stony soils contain a high content of surface stones (round rocks that are literally white with calcium carbonate). These pathes of stony soil are very low in organic material and very high in mineral content. Their poor profile naturally brings down yields for exceptional concentration of aromas and flavors. Their rocky character imparts a stony texture to the Malbec wines. The Manos Negras Stone Soil Select Malbec is theese pathces of stone soils.
