WHEN THE ART OF WINEMAKING MEETS PASSION AND INSPIRATION, WE ACHIEVE EL CUVELIER LOS ANDES EL 2013
Technical Data 60 % Malbec, 30 % Syrah, 10% Merlot. Location: Uco Valley, Vista Flores, Tunuyán, Mendoza, Argentina. Alcohol: 15, 8% Acidity: 5, 7 g/L Residual Sugar: 1,8 g/L pH: 3,86 Dry Extract: 39, 8 g/L Production: 3.000 Bottles Vintage characteristics Spring was relatively warm with moderate to cool average temperatures in September and October 2012 that resulted in good budding. A rigorous selection of buds was performed for tighter control of the yield. Flowering was quick and very uniform. November was dry, warm and sunny. During the summer, January was very hot and dry. The weather was also good in February so the vegetation and fruit in the vineyard were very healthy. Warm temperatures, plenty of sun and a very good temperature range in March and April promoted consistent ripening of the clusters, resulting in grapes with good acidity, concentration of aromas and a beautiful color. Little precipitation allowed for very thorough picking of all the grapes, including those which ripened later such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. A year that was relatively cool during the growth cycle resulted in grapes with a wonderful acidity/sugar balance and a concentration of aromas and polyphenols. This grape harvest, comprised of excellent weather conditions, high quality soil and meticulous maintenance of the vineyard, produced 2013 CLA wines with a unique, exceptional character.
