The co-fermentation of Semillón and Malbec is a calculated risk that defines the character of Ancestral. By uniting the red and white grapes from the crushing stage, we achieve a smoother and more stabilized extraction of polyphenols. Semillón, with its high malic acid content and resistant skin, acts as a natural catalyst, polishing the aggressiveness of high-altitude Malbec. The result is a red wine with the tension and verve (nervousness) of a cellar-worthy white, a dynamic balance between body and acidity.
