Malbec
Las Perdices Ice is the product of a unique manufacturing process. The grapes are harvested in mid-June, between 60 and 90 days after the usual date. At this point they have an advanced state of dehydration and therefore of concentration of sugar, aromas and flavors. The grapes are harvested manually in boxes, then, they are taken to the winery where they are cooled to temperatures below -8 °C for several days.
Under these conditions, the winemaking process begins. The grapes are directed directly to the pressing and the ice crystals are removed, this process allows to obtain a juice or must with unique characteristics that ferments for more than 30 days at temperatures between 10 and 12 °C. Gradually, the fermentation begins to slow down to a complete stop, leaving a significant amount of residual sugar in the final wine.
