Bodega Estancia Mendoza Uco Valley Estate Malbec
In just 15 years Bodega Estancia Mendoza has grown to become one of the 5 best-selling wine brands in Argentina and in 2017, the winery was recognised as one of the top 5 most awarded Argentinean wineries by the World Rankings of Wine & Spirits. The winery is located in the highlands of Mendoza, in a region known as the Uco Valley; the Land of Malbec. This area is widely regarded as one of the best winegrowing regions in the country. With crops at 1,100 metres above sea level, its high altitude and unique terroir of stony soils, natural irrigation of mineralised meltwater from the great Andes mountains and a climate of intensely hot summers and snowy winters all combines together to produce grapes and wines of intense flavour and elegance. It really is like no other place on earth and the wines produced from there are equally as unique
The grapes for this wine were hand harvested from vineyards in San Carlos in the Northern region of the Uco Valley in the second half of March. The grapes were gently pressed and then fermented for 10 days in temperature controlled tanks at 25-27°C with pump-overs and daily delestages to ensure more fruit character in the final wine. They were then aged for 8 months in second use American Oak barrel then aged for four months in bottle.
