Description

Product Description:

Grapes for this Malbec are grown in the Andes Mountains of Argentina, then chilled and transported by ocean voyage to Caymus, where we use our winemaking techniques to create a style that is dense, dark and supple. Falling outside standard labeling rules, Red Schooner does not include a vintage date but is known by the voyage from which it traveled (i.e. Voyage 10 is the 2020 vintage). Strikingly smooth, with scents and flavors of dark fruit and fine, textural tannins.

Winery Notes:

Beautiful Argentina is legendary for the production of fine Malbec wine. Inspired to create Red Schooner, we designed an efficient method to ship grapes over ocean waters while retaining their precious qualities. We pinpoint high-caliber vineyards — bathed in the intense mountain sunlight of Mendoza — then harvest and chill the fruit, transporting our valuable cargo by sea voyage to Caymus Vineyards. The fruit arrives in excellent condition, looking as thought it has just been harvested. We use great care to extract deep color and rich tannins through slow and delicate fermentation. The wine is then aged 15 months in French oak barrels (40% new); this bottling occurred in September 2021.Â
