Tasting notes
There's more ripeness in the nose and flavors of the 2020 Amancaya, reflecting the warm and dry vintage. It has 14.5% alcohol and was produced with a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Malbec, reversing the dominant grape to combine the fruit and freshness of Malbec with the power and complexity of Cabernet Sauvignon. Fifty percent of the volume matured in oak barrels while the other half was kept in concrete to keep the fruit-driven profile with a soft palate and round tannins. 122,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2022.

The 2020 Red Blend Amancaya is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Malbec from Altamira & Agrelo, Mendoza and was 50% aged in barrels and foudres for 12 months. Garnet red in color. The 2020 has a mild nose of ripe fruit, hints of herbs, plum jam and blackcurrant. The oak dominates in the mouth with good volume, an expansive, indulgent, slightly saline flow and coarsely textured tannins.
