02 — The Conditions
Why it works here.
Sandy loam over deep limestone, relentless wind that dries the canopy and keeps disease pressure low, and a diurnal swing at elevation that lets fruit ripen fully while holding its acid. That combination is why Malbec performs on this site.
We can pick to your numbers — Brix, pH, and TA targets agreed ahead of the season — and arrange trucking from the High Plains to your crush pad.
