This concrete-fermented Malbec was aged in old oak and is all about fruit and finesse.

The wine matured in used 225-liter French oak barrels and cement vats. The nose is ripe and fruit-driven, with aromas of dark cherries and plums plus a subdued minerality and a touch of spices. Most noticeable is the really well-integrated oak (only founder and well-seasoned barrels are used for this wine). The palate is juicy, fresh and has good balance with a somewhat bittersweet finish that is attractive and commercial. This is a great expression of fresh and elegant Malbec from Altamira at a very attractive price point. 130,000 bottles produced. \u003cstrong\u003e- Wine Advocate 91 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chakana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948870463535,"sku":"AR0EE881218MBM","price":24.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/estate_malbec_label_48e671f8-1860-46c7-aea0-896189429839.jpg?v=1771484946","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/chakana-estate-malbec-2014","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
