Our showcase Malbec. Highly selected grapes from our old vines with restricted production not exceeding 1kg per vine. Following a rigorous selection, the grapes were crushed, then fermented for 8 days in small, temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Finally, this wine was aged in our underground cellar for 14 months in new French oak barrels, and 12 months in the bottle.
Notes:
Deep ruby with violet reflections, intense cherry, blackberry, and spice aroma, well-balanced, full bodied, soft elegant tannins, long-lasting finish.
Delicious with rich spiced dishes, strong cheeses, roast or grilled meats, tuna, salmon and chocolate.
