Perfect blend for Alpasion Private Selection

In the renowned Chacayes vineyard in the Uco Valley, at 1,200 meters above sea level, the Alpasion Private Selection showcases the rich flavors of its terroir. A blend of Malbec, Syrah, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc grapes grows on seven-year-old vines, with a large number of vines in a small plot. These grapes thrive in the unique alluvial, sandy-loam, and stony soil found here. This area also boasts a sophisticated vineyard management approach, such as Double Guyot pruning and drip irrigation, which helps produce grapes of top quality and intensity. The Alpasion Private Selection production process demonstrates an unwavering commitment to quality. Each grape is hand-picked and carefully selected on the sorting table. They are then fermented in small concrete vats with natural yeasts. This meticulous process includes a 20-day maceration period and six rackings, helping to maximize the color, aroma, and tannins. The wine undergoes a completely natural malolactic fermentation at the end of May, followed by aging in new French oak barrels, which contributes to its depth, complexity, and elegance.

What does the Alpasion Private Selection taste like?

The Alpasion Private Selection has been aged for at least 18 months in French Bordeaux-style barrels, and you can taste it. It reveals a complex blend of dark fruit, leather, earthy notes, and toasted oak. This wine is perfect for drinking now, especially if you let it air out, but it can also be aged for years. This wine pairs particularly well with game dishes or a cheese board featuring hard Dutch cheeses.
