"Our Vineyard is planted in a 4.2 hectares plot, subdivided into 5 parcels. Up in the hills of the Gualtallary Monastery, there are 2.2 hectares divided in 3 sectors: Iubileus, La Craie and Uní. They source the grapes for PerSe. Down in the main Monastery vineyard, there are two blocks from where we harvest the Malbec for Inseparable. This is a 100% Malbec from the most renowned apellation today in Argentina as well as one of the best terroirs in South America. Harvested at the end of March by hand, the grapes were destemmed and traditionally vinified in small 3,000 litre concrete vats designed by David Bonomi. After 40 days of extended maceration with the skins, we racked the flor wine to neutral used French oak barrels, where it stayed for 14 months before bottling. The wine was bottled without any finning or filtering." —winemaker |

"The new red 2018 Inseparable was produced with Malbec from the heart of Gualtallary Monasterio above 1,400 meters in altitude, planted over one of the chalkiest and poorest soils within the Valle de Uco. The hand-picked grapes were destemmed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in 3,000-liter concrete vats, and the wine was racked into neutral French oak barrels, where it matured for 14 months. This is the more approachable and immediate of the wines, a good introduction to their portfolio, a very young and tender wine that is still serious. In 2018, the grapes from the lower part of the vineyard were harvested last, and the grapes had a slower ripening, a classical Gualtallary with some 30 to 40 centimeters of sand where the plants deliver slightly higher yields. Despite 2018 being a warmish vintage, the wine does not show any heat and feels very pure and floral with some notes of fresh herbs, red rather than dark fruit and an earthy twist. The palate reveals a velvety texture and round tannins with citrus freshness (blood orange) and a long and stony finish. This is elegant and balanced, delicious and with potential to develop in bottle. But it's hard to resist... 10,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2019." —Wine Advocate |
