Craft 3 Malbec Mendoza by Gerd Stepp, 2020

Deep in colour, this Malbec has aromas of dark fruits, fresh herbs and nuts. This is a medium-bodied wine which is dense and supple. It has a fine powdery texture with raisin flavours and a bitter cherry finish. Gerd Stepp worked in Argentina at vintage for many years before creating a wine under his own name, inspired by the high-altitude vineyards in Chacayes and Tupungato in the Uco Valley that he came across whilst on his daily run. 2020 Craft 3 Malbec underwent a cold maceration then fermentation using indigenous and selected yeast. It was kept on fine lees and shipped to Germany where Gerd matured and bottled it.
