Malbec Select Saurus - Familia Schroeder

A Malbec from Patagonia

Winery: Familia Schroeder

100% Malbec. Manual harvest.

40% of this wine is aged for 12 months in new French and American oak barrels (medium and medium plus toast) and 60% stored in stainless steel tanks to keep the fruit.

Malbec of intense purplish red color. Ripe plum and dark cherries on the nose together with some hints of violets. Mouthwatering red of velvety tannins and a remarkable freshness along with a firm structure.

Familia Schroeder’s Estate is located in San Patricio del Chañar Valley, at 39° South Latitude, in the wild plains of northern Patagonia, the southernmost wine region of Argentina. This dry and extreme terroir is characterized by frequent winds, cool nights and longer summer days.
During the construction of the winery, fossilized bones of an herbivorous dinosaur that roamed the earth 75 million years ago were discovered, inspiring the brand Saurus.
