Decibel "Giunta" Malbec Nouveau
Availability:8 In Stock
100% Malbec sustainably grown and certified Wild Fermentation. As it has become ‘nouveau’ tradition the wine was evaluated and the decision was made to release this wine for the spring as a ‘Nouveau’ Wine.
Picked in late March, the fruit picked with very modest sugar levels, ranging from 20.5-22.5 Brix. Most of the fruit was destemmed and only lightly crushed to allow the skins to slowly breakdown during the fermentation. While some fruit was also left as bunches to allow for some carbonic maceration. The fruit was then cold macerated for 6 on skins before slowly warming the fermenter and allowing a Wild Fermentation.
For this lighter style, the Malbec color is quite a dark purple. The nose is grainy, brambly with hints of violets and tamarillo growing into notes of blackberry and blueberry pie. Some hints of all spice and confection notes also persist. The palate has a lightly spicy attack with a juicy, supple acidity that drives the mid-palate. The wine finishes short and fresh bringing you back for more. Drink now or over the next 3 years.
Decibel Wines are my vision to create wines using classic practices, minimal intervention, and wines with a community based attitude. These are ideas as old as wine itself and I believe strongly in them. However I look to the future as well. I look at a time when we use smart practices in the vineyard and the winery that not only inspire but preserve our great planet.
