Tasting Notes
Canal Flores wine highlights the essence of the Calle Cobos terroir. Intense, pure wines with fruit components and a balanced acidity. Canal Flores wines can be appreciated typically in a blend that combines a lead of Malbec, blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. It is a wine based on concentrated fruit from over 100 year old Malbec vines, with average yields of ~1,5 kg per plant and 6-8 tons per hectare. It is aged for around 12 months in French oak. We produced this wine in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, and only in 2011 we also produced a special and limited series of Canal Flores with a blend consisting 60% barrel fermented wine and 40% fermented in small 400 liter bins.
