- This Malbec is truly a powerhouse, boasting a full-bodied and aromatic profile. Its captivating aromas include ripe red fruits and sweet notes of violet, perfectly complemented by delicate hints of vanilla, tobacco, and a touch of chocolate. The wine is well-structured, with rounded sweet tannins that enhance its overall profile, culminating in a long-lasting finish that lingers on the palate. Ripe aromas of blackberry jam and dark chocolate with intense flavours and beautiful integration of fine opulence through to a very long finish. A powerhouse of a Malbec

Manually harvested at dawn in April, when the grapes had reached full phenolic maturity, they were carefully selected by hand to ensure no green material or imperfect fruit entered the must. Pre-fermentation maceration took place to extract a rich colour before temperature-controlled fermentation. Post-fermentation maceration lasted approximately 10 days to extract colour, flavour and fine tannins further. When this was complete, the wine was racked and aged 12 to 18 months in new French oak barrels. It then received a minimum of eight months of bottle ageing.
Complex aromas of ripe red fruits and sweet notes of violet are complemented by delicate hints of vanilla, tobacco and a touch of chocolate. A structured, full-bodied and aromatic wine enhanced by rounded sweet tannins and a long-lasting finish.

Winery | The grapes come from the vineyard located in Tupungato, which is at an altitude of 1,300 meters above sea level. The area is characterized by its great diurnal temperature swings, which encourage aromatic expression and great intensity of colour in the wine. The vines are irrigated by a drip-water system that regulates and supplies the exact amount of water that the plant needs. Grown in predominantly alluvial and sandy soils, the vines undergo strict canopy management to reduce the yields. |
