Jelu Estate was founded in 2002 and is located in San Juan, which is approximately 100 miles North of Mendoza. Duncan Killiner, the co-founder also makes the wine and speaks often of the distinctive climate of the Zonda Valley. Jelu was established to promote Argentina’s terroirs. Duncan sources organically grown grapes from a few regions, including the Zonda Valley in San Juan and Patagonia. The Zonda Valley is dry and hot with riverbed shingles and pudding stones that run two meters deep and radiate heat throughout the valley. This soil composition is quite extreme already, but the terroir is also transformed by temperature variations spanning 50 degrees over the course of a day in the height of summer. The grapes that are harvested in January (the southern hemisphere’s equivalent of July) which is relatively early compared to other producers in the region. 2017 Rose de Malbec – 100% Malbec. Soils: river shingles and pudding stones. Fermentation whole-bunch press to stainless steel tank. Full malolactic fermentation to preserve the deep color. No maturation.
