Agustin Lanus, Sumak Kawsay Malbec, Tucuman 2019

It is fermented using 100% indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks at controlled temperature, with cold pre-fermentation for 4 days at 10°C. 50% of the wine is aged 15 months in tank and 50% in used French Oak barrels. It is bottled unfiltered and unclarified.

Made from 40 small (¼ to 1 hectare) vineyards owned by the indigenous community Los Amaichas, located at 2,200 masl, in Amaicha del Valle, a dramatic desert settlement high in the Andes mountains. The soils are alluvial with a large amount of sand and rocks. The poor soils, wide temperature variations and long maturation time due to the extreme altitude produce a very hardy Malbec grape. 

A celebration of ancient terrors, SUMAK KAWSAY (“The Good Life” in the native dialect) is produced with minimal intervention and a deep respect for mother earth. The vineyards are looked after using ancient techniques and the harvest is done by hand, with the assistance of mules.
