Alpataco Malbec is a 100% Malbec from Patagonia, Argentina, made from a low-yielding vineyard and hand-picked grapes. It has an intense purplish red color and a complex nose of red fruits such as cherries and sour cherries, with some spice. The palate is smooth, fresh and structured, with vanilla and caramel notes. 40% of the wine is aged for 6 months in French and American oak barrels. It is a young wine with well defined characteristics, at 14.3% alcohol. The name comes from an indigenous bush that symbolizes the tenacity of life in the Patagonian steppe.
The Schroeder vineyards are in San Patricio del Chanar, near Neuquen, at 39 degrees south latitude. They are planted on gravelly soils, with warm days and cool nights. When construction of the winery began, workers unearthed a 75 million year old dinosaur, which gave the Saurus name to the range.
