| Description: | 92 pts Wine Advocate A new "clarete" light red from the "natural" range, the 2022 La Vaquita Natural is the first vintage for this unusual blend of 80% Malbec and 20% Torrontés that fermented together; the Malbec was with full clusters, and they do a semi-carbonic maceration. It has a pale color, with notes from the two varieties, with violets and orange blossom, and it is fine-boned, light and fresh but with clout, with 13.8% alcohol and fine tannins. This is a very gastronomical light red with tasty, clean flavors and aromas and a velvety mouthfeel. Very easy to drink. This is the first vintage from organic grapes and fermented with indigenous yeasts. 20,000 bottles were filled in August 2022 after three months in stainless steel. 91 pts James Suckling A very clean and scented co-fermentation of 80% malbec and 20% torrontes. Savory plums, cherries, peaches and some pomegranate to the nose. Fresh, smooth and quite drinkable. From organically grown grapes. No sulphites added. |
