- Intense and dark violet colour with a surprising sheen. Aromas of red fruits, strawberries, and some cherries. Subtle notes of flowers like violets and lilacs. Also, its passage through the oak brought some vanilla and delicate toasted aromas. In the mouth, it is a complex wine with personality, good structure, and a delightful ending

The grapes were hand-sorted and selected in the winery before undergoing a four-day cold maceration at 9’, followed by fermentation with 21 days of maceration in small stainless-steel tanks, concrete vats, and oak barrels, with spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurring in the barrel. This was followed by 19 months(of ageing in French oak barrels: 40 new, 20 second use, 40 third use.
’Combining intensity and freshness with aplomb, the 8ran Malbec is redolent with bright cherry fruit and floral complexity on the nose, followed by ripe plums, vanilla, and toasty oak on the palate. The silky tannins unfold through the mid-palate, leading to a bold and lengthy finish.
