Escorihuela Gascon 'Rosaura' Malbec

A tribute to Rosaura, the wife of the Bodegas' original founder, Miguel Escorihuela, a compassionate woman in caring for the local community and their children but also a woman whose quiet strength and vision were essential in shaping the earliest steps of the winery. 

ROSAURA Malbec reflects the unique character of its birthplace with vines over 35 years old, lies at the gateway to Alto Agrelo in Luján de Cuyo, where altitude, soil, and climate converge in perfect balance. Cold mountain breezes descending from the Andes create a refreshing microclimate and remarkable thermal amplitude, while a gentle eastern hillside acts as a natural shield, nurturing slow, even ripening and remarkable aromatic precision.
The grapes for ROSAURA come exclusively from Block 14, a section distinguished by an ancient riverbed rich in stones. This singular feature enhances drainage and concentrates flavour, lending depth and vibrancy to the fruit.

Vinified in stainless steel tanks, the must underwent a 48-hour cold pre-fermentation maceration, allowing delicate extraction of color and aroma. Fermentation followed at temperatures below 28 °C to preserve the wine’s freshness and purity. Afterward, malolactic fermentation completed the transformation, softening the texture and integrating complexity.

85% of the wine was then aged for 12 months in a combination of 225-liter oak barrels
and 7,000-liter foudres, a balance that brings subtle spice, gentle toast, and a supple, silky mouthfeel.

Tasting Note - Aromas of ripe red and black fruits, floral nuances, and an elegant touch of cocoa and vanilla.
On the palate, it shows great weight, polished tannins, and a balance that promises excellent bottle ageing potential.
