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 ageing, and finally, 6 months of ageing 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. Patagonia’s remote location and extreme climate create a unique environment for viticulture, resulting in wines with distinctive character and purity. Bodega Del Fin Del Mundo is known for its commitment to sustainability and innovation, utilising advanced winemaking techniques while honoring traditional methods.
