Description

La Coste des Andes was set up by Irish property magnate Paddy McKillen with help from Michel Rolland and winemaker Lucas Gimenez Baciocchi. Situated in the high Valle de Uco region of Mendoza, they have two sites, in Los Chacyes and Gualtallary farmed organically since 2014.

The stunning La Coste des Andes Malbec is selected from the best fruit from their two sites in Los Chacyes and Gualtallary in the high Valle de Uco.

Cold maceration takes place for four days before the fermentation process begins for 15 days, with 50% of this taking place in concrete egg tanks and 50% in new French oak barrels. Post fermentation, extended maceration takes place for 35 days in contact with the skins to bring concentration and structure. Each parcel is fermented independently ahead of blending. Finally, the blended the wine is then aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels.
