Las Playas Malbec

The vines are located in Los Árboles in the Valle de Uco, on calcareous, sandy alluvial soils with rounded river pebbles, very low organic matter and good drainage at around 1,150 metres altitude. The grapes are hand-picked; the wine is made without oak ageing. For the Malbec range, Ikal specifies a 48-hour cold maceration and the exclusive use of indigenous yeasts. Stylistically, it shows an intense violet colour, plum and red fruit, fresh acidity, mineral notes, soft tannins and a medium finish. The 2024 vintage has 12,8 % alcohol, 5,55 g/l acidity, pH 3,74 and 2,13 g/l residual sugar. Sources: ikal.wine; Ikal technical information.
