The grapes are carefully chosen and fermented in small lots to preserve the vineyard identity.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tAlcoholic fermentation for 10 days with indigenous and selected yeasts, at temperatures of 26 and 30°C, combining, remontage, pigage and delestage in order to obtain the best quality of tannins and structure.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t70% of the resulting wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels to fully reveal the character of the Andean terroir, and the remaining 30% is aged in concrete vats.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tA ripe, fleshy style, with blackberry and fig sauce notes laced with bittersweet Grenache. Powerful and layered, with classic Cabernet aromatics. Dark and ripe, with a nice loamy edge lurking on the finish.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\"Made from 100% hand-harvested Cabernet Sauvignon, two-thirds of the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve spent 12 months in French oak and one-third in concrete. It is a classic Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon from alluvial soils. Maipe owns significant acreage in two main vineyards, Agrelo and Alta Mira. Classic notes of creme de cassis, cedarwood and vanillin are accompanied by a wine with a beautiful, full-bodied texture, deep, rich, concentrated flavors and a long finish. For $15.00, it is impossible to find a Cabernet Sauvignon this good from anywhere else in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tMaipe is one of my favorite value selections from Fran Kysela as the wines are exceptionally well-made, and sell for a song.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue #208, August 2013)\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e 92 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maipe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948777599023,"sku":"AR0EE881153CSL","price":16.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/maipe-cabernet-reserve-mendoza-2012","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
