Product notes

Vines from 2000.

Production notes

Manual harvest in plastic boxes or bins during the last week of April. Classic fermentation with selected yeasts from our vineyards at 25°C. Maceration for 20 days. Part of the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 10 months.

Tasting notes

Red violet color with medium intensity. Complex nose with typical Malbec aromas of red and black fruits such as cherries, plums and jam. Also notes of tomato dry leaves and spice of Cabernet Franc.On the palate, the Cabernet Franc adds dark fruit and tannins, making a perfect combination that results in a complex, elegant wine of great concentration. Pairs well with red meats such as beef, lamb and ribs.
