Product Description

Overview

Winery: Cholila Ranch

Cholila Ranch Malbec 2011 is made from 100% Malbec.

In the summer of 1901 in Southern Patagonia, two men, under the assumed names of Henry A. Place and James Ryan, settle for the night at a sheep ranch in the Cholila district. They had just made the long journey from America to what was then called the "America of the Southern Hemisphere". It would later be discovered that these two men were in fact Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Butch and the Kid are long dead, but the agriculture driven economy of one of the world's most remote wine regions is still alive and thriving.

The estate-grown grapes are manually harvested, carefully sorted, and destemmed. The wine undergoes traditional maceration for 21 days with selected yeasts. Cholila Ranch Malbec is aged both in American and French oak for 9 months, followed by a minimum of 6 months bottle aging prior to release.

Deep purple color. Aromas of ripe plum and mulberry with violet hints. Ripe black fruits and fig on the palate with touches of smoke and vanilla. A truly powerful yet balanced wine with a persistent finish.

The Cholila Ranch Winery

The Cholila Ranch Winery is one of the first four wineries from the dessert region of Neuquen, Patagonia. It is named after the ranch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid settled. The Cholila Ranch Winery made the area famous with their innovative wine styles. Neuquen is one of the most remote wine regions. The land consists of dust and stone roads in a dry backdrop. Surviving, let alone producing here is proof of man’s capacity to cooperate in unison with the environment.

The primary winemaker for Cholila Ranch Winery is Roberto de la Mota. His team consists of 100% Argentine winemakers.

[In February 20, 1901, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, boarded the British ship Herminius and steamed off to build a new life for themselves in the "United States of the Southern Hemisphere". They settled in a sheep ranch at Cholila Ranch, in the deepest Argentine Patagonia, under the alias of James Ryan and Harry A. place, where they were considered respectable citizens. - Extract of "Digging Up Butch & Sundance, by Anne Meadows]
