{"product_id":"wtf-malbec-casa-de-uco-mendoza-argentina-natural-wine","title":"WTF Malbec 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003eWTF Malbec 2015 is 100% Malbec from the Los Chacayes GI in the Tunuyán district of the Uco Valley, Mendoza. The vines sit at 1,250 meters above sea level on alluvial soils with chalky topsoil over loamy clay — a profile typical of the Arroyo Grande River fan deposits that define this sub-appellation. The semi-desert climate delivers around 330 days of sun per year with significant diurnal temperature swings, which preserve natural acidity and deepen color in the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrapes were hand-harvested into small bins and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks, a significant portion going in as whole bunches. After pressing, approximately 85% of the wine aged for six months in concrete pools and the remaining 15% rested in fourth-use oak barrels — vessels with virtually no flavor-extractive capacity, used purely for slow micro-oxygenation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine was bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfites. The color is intense violet-red with dark tones. On the nose, expect black fruits — blackberry, ripe plum — with a mineral undercurrent of wet stones. The palate is medium-bodied with well-balanced acidity and fine, approachable tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWTF (Wednesday Thursday Friday) is a natural wine label created by a group of young enthusiasts based in New York City who partnered with Casa de Uco to produce this bottling. Casa de Uco is a family-owned estate operated by the Tonconogy family on an 800-acre property within the Los Chacayes GI, with winemaking overseen by winemaker Gustavo Bauzá and consulting winemaker Alberto Antonini.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WTF + Casa de Uco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31910082183261,"sku":"WTFMALB15C","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/wed-thu-fri-malbec-mendoza-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1626237763","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/wtf-malbec-casa-de-uco-mendoza-argentina-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
