Bramare Malbec Chañares Estate

Black Angus rib steak grilled over vine cuttings.

This season was influenced by La Nina and consequently it was significantly drier, in contrast to the 2016 growing season. In spring the average temperatures were lower than historical, registering four events of late frosts that affected yields. February started fresh and rainy, delaying the harvest, starting finally on February 16 and ending on April 20. Good weather conditions during harvest season allowed us harvesting grapes of excellent quality and health conditions.

Aged for 18 months in new French oak (50%) in combination with second use oak (50%). Bottles in December 2018. Unfined and unfiltered.

Viña Cobos makes wines that are authentic expressions of the terroir from which they come. Paul Hobbs founding partner and winemaker at Viña Cobos has worked since 1988 in the exploration of the different terroirs of Mendoza looking for the most distinguished regions in Luján de Cuyo and the Valle de Uco to produce wines that uniquely express their origins. Sustainable farming methods in the vineyard contribute to consistent yields of healthy fruit. In the winery careful treatment of the grapes and meticulous winemaking techniques result in complex and elegant wines of subtlety and balance.
