2020 Malbec

Happy Canyon Vineyard // Happy Canyon AVA

These grapes were harvested on October 17th, 2020 and processed in Goleta, CA at Kunin Winery (our host - bless them for putting up with our BS).
We fermented 1/3 whole cluster, 1/3 whole berry and 1/3 crushed berry in a single vessel to create a balanced structure and give just the right spice, fruit and complexity to the finished wine. Fermented for 15 days on skins, pressed, settled and aged in neutral barrels for 10 months; we bottled it pretty young to preserve it’s freshness. Unfiltered and Unfined, just the way it should be.

These wines scream blackberry pie, acai, dark choco bar, and a single cracked pepper corn. Dark violet, grippy tannin, lush, a silk feather on your tongue, this wine is complex and exhilarating. Malbec is the SHIT. This was the first varietal we ever produced and will remain a staple for Soûl Wines year after year.
