Made of organic grapes from own Estate located in Gualtallary, Tupungato, at an altitude of 1200 meters (4000 feet) above sea level, one of the highest points in Mendoza. The wine is composed by 85% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and 5% Syrah. The wine has been aged in new and second use French oak barrels during 12 months and then 12 months in bottle. It has a potential for 8-10 years aging in correct storage conditions.
Tasting Notes
It presents an opaque, almost black violet color. In the nose it shows intense aromas with hints of ripe red fruit, plum, blackcurrant, black pepper and hints of candied fruit and jam. It has subtle notes of chocolate, coffee and walnut thanks to a long aging in French oak barrels. On the palate it is velvety in style, with soft and rounded tannins and notes of blackberry, spices and truffle that provide an aromatic complexity with an exquisite finish.
