RD TINTO

Variety:

Malbec / Cabernet Sauvignon

Characteristics: 

A blend of 80% Malbec and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from various vineyards across Finca Tacuil. The great diversity of soils and microclimates on this estate is reflected in the complexity and richness of this wine. Grown under organic practices, the vines are planted at a density of 4,400 plants per hectare, resulting in low yields and exceptional fruit quality. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks and concrete eggs, allowing for spontaneous fermentation from native yeasts. After bottling, the wine is celleared for one year before release.

A deep ruby red with violet hues, this powerful yet balanced red is characterized by aromas of ripe dark fruits, spices, and a hint of smoke. Its refreshing acidity adds complexity and persistence on the palate. RD is a wine that truly expresses the essence of Finca Tacuil.

DOÑA ASCENSIÓN

Variety:

Red Blend

Characteristics: 

A red wine blend created in homage to Doña Ascensión Isaasmendi de Dávalos, who was a pioneer of high-altitude viticulture in the Calchaquí Valleys.

In the late 1990s, two young and intrepid individuals embarked on the task of convincing Don Raúl Dávalos to produce a limited batch in honor of the person who had promoted the wines of the region in the early 19th century. The great challenge for Yeye and Pancho (son and nephew, respectively) was to persuade the patriarch to allow the aging of this red wine in French oak barrels, which notably contradicted Don Raúl, an ardent defender of unoaked wines and the purest expression of the valley's wines.

Persistence and several years of effort were necessary to overcome this challenge, until finally in 2003, the long-awaited “green light” was granted and the first harvest of this new label was presented.

Made primarily from Malbec grapes, with a slight participation of Cabernet Sauvignon not exceeding 20%, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks and with indigenous yeasts. The wine then undergoes aging in 225-liter neutral French oak barrels, with the aim of micro-oxygenating the wine and refining the tannins. Its production is about 3,000 bottles annually.

VIÑAS DE DÁVALOS

Variety:

80% from Malbec grapevines and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Characteristics: 

This wine is the icon of our winery and embodies the purest spirit of our winemaking philosophy, reflecting the vision and conviction of Don Raul Davalos Goytia.

It is a blend composed of grapes from the "Los Nogales" vineyard, with approximately 80% Malbec and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Planted in 2001, this vineyard has the unique characteristic of being 100% massal selection, a tradition maintained by the Davalos family since the early 19th century. The vines are cultivated organically, following the principle that lower yields result in higher quality grapes. In fact, it takes the fruit of four vines to produce a single bottle.

This wine is intense and persistent. Behind its deep crimson color, it displays a remarkable structure and volume, accompanied by a balanced acidity. Aromatically, it combines notes of raspberries with spicy hints of licorice and black olives.

Only 3,000 bottles are produced annually.
