Bodega Atamisque Assemblage
This limited production (just 10,000 bottles produced) blend of 50% Malbec, 20% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot is held back by the winery for "a bit" to soften and come together. It's come together very nicely
The vineyards stand at 3,600 feet high, enjoying a privileged sun exposure and cool temperatures that allow the grapes to have a perfect ripening. The grapes are hand-picked and selected in two sorting tables. Gravity flow winemaking. Temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged in new French oak barrels (Taransud & Demptons) for 14 months before bottling.
Complex notes of red fruits, black pepper, dry tobacco, and hints of dark minerals perfectly integrated with black currants and red fruit jam. Full-bodied, elegant, and well-balanced. Strawberries and fruits of the forest with coffee and hazelnut notes. Silky tannins and a long, superb finish. Vibrant acidity and sharp mineral notes. Pair with red meats, Slow roasted Pork shoulder, stews, and pastas.
