2014 HARVEST REPORT

We had a climatically eventful summer in Mendoza - an early season heat wave followed by tons of rain.
Temperatures were sustained above 100 degrees for many days in the second half of December and through January.  
February rainfall, more than triple the average, then delayed harvest by a couple of weeks.

The summer heat produced fruit with mature tannins, which means well-structured wines. Winemaker Pablo Martorell utilized longer cold macerations
to preserve the fruitiness of the grapes and enhance the color and aromas of the wine.

Despite the challenges, careful vineyard management and expert winemaking techniques have resulted in an outstanding vintage.

2014 Nunum ‘Fenix’ Malbec: Platinum Medal 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & spirits Competition
96 Points Directors Award Best Malbec

“Nunum’s ‘Fenix’ is a powerhouse Malbec with deep savory character in the nose and in the mouth. Blackberry, black cherry,
chocolate, dry earth, fall spice, raw meat and perfect oak selection ride a rigid structure through a firm, grippy finish
that already is leaving a well integrated impression of all the flavors.

Get some to save for later and revel in the evolution over the next 15 years. Great Malbec!
A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & spirits Competition.”
