As well as making wines in Germany, Gerd continues to consult internationally and has made wine in Argentina for the last 20 years. Craft 3 Malbec is his own wine inspired by high-altitude vineyards in Chacayes and Tupungato. It has intense, spicy plummy aromas with good depth. It is smooth with a fine texture and lots of dark fruit flavours. Malbec was cultivated at near desert conditions, with irrigation water provided by melting snow from the Andes. After cold maceration and fermentation, the wine was shipped on its fine lees to Germany for maturation.
