2016 Lubileus

Cropped from a cooler and wetter year, the 2016 Iubileus saw an even smaller crop than the 2015 vintage and resulted in only 750 bottles produced. This wine is always produced in a similar fashion, with the Malbec and Cabernet Franc fermented separately (Malbec represents the majority of the blend) and aged in used French oak barrels for some 16 months before being bottled unfiltered. It's fresher, lighter and more ethereal than the 2015. It feels young, tender and more delicate, with a super elegant texture, finer tannins and a sensation of higher freshness and more acidity. It was bottled in October 2017. 2016 shows the elegance and subtleness of Malbec.
