Gen Del Alma Jijiji Red Blend

Gen del Alma began in 2011 when five wine loving friends planted a 7 hectare vineyard in Gualtallary at 1400 meters above sea level on alluvial soil composed of calcium carbonate and granite. The group began making wine in a small winery built in 1952 in the town of Tupungato where they work with concrete vats, eggs and amphora made from local sand and stone. This blend of 50% Malbec and 50% Pinot Noir is all hand-harvested from the Tupungato Winelands vineyard in Gualtallary. Planted in 2007, this vineyard is situated at 4,600 feet of altitude and has calcareous, stony soils. Vinified in stainless steel, the wine sees some carbonic maceration and is aged for 6 months in concrete. Aromas of cherries, cranberries, peppercorns, mushrooms, redcurrants,
dried thyme and roses. Light-to medium-bodied with silky tannins and fresh acidity. Juicy, crisp and crunchy.
