Winemaker Notes
This is how they started experimenting with French oak staves inside the cement vats, instead of using traditional barrels. The cube in the label symbolizes how the impossible is just an illusion, and how using only these oak staves we seek to produce a great wine.

Made from 100% Malbec aged 8 months in a mix of barrel and tank, the 2016 Malbec Imposible offers more purity and freshness, with lots of blackberry, peppery herbs, violets, and smoke. It's pure, medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, has integrated acidity and a great finish. It's certainly one of the standouts here.

Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
