FOW Malbec was born from the lifelong dedication of winemaker Fabricio Orlando, whose vision was to craft a wine that reflects both his passion for winemaking and the unique character of his homeland. His commitment to quality over quantity guides every step of the process, from the careful selection of grapes to the final blend in the bottle. The grapes are sourced from Finca El Maitén in San Rafael, a vineyard blessed with silty-clay soils rich in rounded river stones. The proximity to the Diamante River ensures excellent drainage, encouraging deep root development and a natural balance in the vines. San Rafael's pronounced temperature shifts between warm days and cool nights allow for slow, even ripening, preserving the natural acidity and freshness of the grapes. In the winery, the process is designed to highlight authenticity and terroir. Fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts, capturing the true essence of the fruit.

The wine then spends 12 months in French oak barrels, gaining elegance, structure, and subtle spice without losing its vibrant fruit character. The result is a Malbec that is expressive, balanced, and deeply rooted in the soul of San Rafael.
