These techniques involve circulating the must over the cap of skins and seeds, extracting colour, tannins, and flavour compounds, contributing to the wine's depth and structure. The total maceration time typically lasts between 12 and 15 days, allowing for optimal extraction without over-extraction. Crucially, Aruma is aged exclusively in tanks. This deliberate choice aims to preserve the wine's vibrant, fruit-driven style and to allow the pure varietal characteristics of the Malbec grape to shine through unmasked by oak influence. This approach results in a wine that is fresh, expressive, and brimming with primary fruit notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes: A Symphony of Dark Fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eAruma Malbec presents a truly captivating appearance in the glass, displaying a deep red colour with alluring black hues.
