From The Winemaker

Created in 1976 by Don Bernardo C. Weinert, Cavas de Weinert - Cask Selection gathers Weinert’s values in winemaking: tradition, quality, prestige and uniqueness. Made from a selection of our most expressive wines ageing in casks within our cellars, it conveys the harmony between its three grape varieties: Malbec conferring its ripe mouthfeel of red and black fruits, Cabernet Sauvignon its mid-palate structure and elegant depth of cedary and cocoa notes, and Merlot its elegant earthiness. Its ageing process in French oak cask imprints a unique and distinguished style, marking the directions of our wines towards excellence.

Growing Conditions

2009 vintage was marked by a very criterious vineyard management in terms of irrigation. With a very dry summer during January – May and moderate temperatures and sunny days, it presented excellent conditions of sanitary health in vineyards. Grapes sourced from the first zones of Lujan de Cuyo and Maipú had slightly lower yields, higher aromatic complexity, ripe tannins and firm structure. 2009 is considered by many winemakers as one of the very best vintages of the decade, and it’s excellence is reflected in our Cavas de Weinert – Cask Selection with one of the very best wines we have produced of our flagship blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
