Juan Carrau Malbec
Juan Carrau Malbec is a wine produced by Bodegas Carrau, a winery based in Uruguay, known for its expertise in working with the Tannat grape variety. Malbec wines are best known from Argentina
Juan Carrau Malbec is ruby red in color with a purple twinkle. In the scent plenty of red berry fruit, cherries and plums and a floral note of violets. With its ripe tannins, the wine feels soft and refined on the palate.
The grapes come from some of the best plots of Malbec, in the Las Violetas area, where the proximity to the ocean and the Rio Plata provides cooling. The soil consists of calcareous clay with a reasonable content of organic material. The bunches are harvested by hand and transported to the cellar in small containers. After two days of cold skin maceration, the fermentation takes place in stainless steel fermentation tanks at 22⁰C.
