Winemaking Notes:

The BDFDM Patagonia Special Blend is crafted from carefully and manually selected grapes grown in the cool climate of Patagonia, Argentina. The unique terroir, characterized by cool nights and warm days, allows for a slow ripening process, resulting in grapes with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. The wine is aged in French oak barrels in two stages: each variety is aged separately for the first 12 months, then the defined blend returns to barrels for 6 more months, thus completing the 18 months of aging, and finally, 6 months of aging in the bottle, contributing to its complexity and smooth tannins. The meticulous blending of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot is done with precision to create a harmonious wine that expresses the best of each varietal.
