Vintage Report

The 2021 vintage in Argentina received an excellent score of 92 points in the Robert Parker Vintage Chart. This indicates a very strong quality year with excellent wines.

If Argentina is proud of anything, it's their Malbec. That's why Kaiken decided to take on a new challenge. The Andes Mountains, just a stone's throw from which Kaiken Wines is located, provided the inspiration to search for the true Andean Malbec. During this search, they discovered three perfect microterroirs, resulting in fantastic wines. One such wine is this Aventura Chacayes Sur, a fresh and floral wine with superb structure.

Manual harvest for Kaiken Aventura Chacayes Sur

The Malbec grapes for this wine come from Los Chacayes, as the name suggests. The vineyards are situated on the beautiful slopes of Arroyo Grande at an altitude of 1250 meters above sea level. Winters are harsh and summers can be exceptionally hot. The sandy loam soil allows the roots to penetrate deep into the ground. The grapes ripen evenly here, thus retaining their freshness. The Malbec grapes are harvested entirely by hand at peak ripeness. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are hand-selected for quality. A four-day preferential fermentation at a controlled temperature follows. Fermentation then takes place in concrete tanks for seven days. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally, also in concrete tanks. Finally, the wine is aged in these same concrete tanks for 12 months. The wine then ages in the bottle for another six months before release.

What does the Kaiken Aventura Chacayes Sur taste like?

The wine has a deep red color with purple highlights. Upon pouring, it initially releases aromas of star anise, white flowers, and fresh plums. Later, fresh aromas of blackberries and strawberries emerge. The palate is smooth with medium acidity. Soft tannins combine with notes of dried flowers, figs, and dates. A delightful tasting experience that continues into a pleasant finish.
