71 RST HARVEST AT OUR VINEYARD DON EUGENIO

2017 Adelante Malbec

2017 MARKED THE 71RST VINTAGE AT OUR VINEYARD DON EUGENIO. AFTER YEARS OF IMPROVING OUR 10 ACRE VINEYARD AND FERMENTING THE THREE SECTIONS, NORTH, SOUTH, AND CENTRAL SEPARATELY, WE CONCLUDED THAT A PART OF A CENTRAL SECTION WOULD BE BOTTLED ON IT'S OWN TO COMMEMORATE EUGENIO GIOACCHINI WHO PLANTED THE VINES WE HAVE PRESERVED TO MAKE ADELNATE OLD VINE MALEC AND CUVEE D.E.

CUVEE D.E. is the finest expression of our vineyard. We believe it is rare to find a small vineyard being meticulously farmed in the price range of these wines.

ON A QUIET MORNING THE JOY OF HARVEST BEGINS. Right: TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL.
