Raquis Chacayes Mendoza is a 2023 red blend of 85% Malbec and 15% Cabernet Franc from Chacayes, in the Uco Valley of Mendoza, Argentina. The soils in the selected plots are varied, shaped by alluvial deposits from the Arroyo Grande stream and by the nearby mountain range. They run from very shallow profiles to sandy layers over stony subsoil rich in angular gravel with calcareous patinas and concretions.
All fermentations are open-top and include 15 to 20% whole clusters. Maceration is relatively short, 15 to 20 days, and pressing is done by hand. The wine then aged 20 months in a Clayver (15%), two French oak barrels and a second-use 1,200-liter Austrian foudre. It is unfined and unfiltered.
